Memorial Day is about intentional remembering, not just BBQs and mattress sales – family, fun and free day off.
FULL sacrifice is never just about giving something up—it’s about what you’re giving it up for.
Read John 15:13
(MULTILINE REVEAL SMALL)
In less than 24 hours Jesus would be:
1. Betrayed… 2. Arrested.. 3. Tried… 4. Sentenced… 5. AND ULTIMATELY – Crucified…
Read John 15:12
(MULTILINE REVEAL SMALL)
Why did Jesus command us to do that?
You can’t give what you don’t have.
You and I can’t be obedient to Jesus’ command.
Until we understand the sacrificial love he gives to us to empower that command.
If you are sitting here today in the freedoms you have in this country – it’s because of the sacrifice another has made for you.
If you are saved today, and can claim freedom from the bondage and death of sin – it’s because of the ultimate sacrifice Jesus has made for you.
If you are seeking today and not sure or understanding of salvation – it is available to you freely right here and right now through the sacrifice that Jesus willingly made on the cross on time, for all people.
