May 31, 2021 Memorial Day Monday Message
John 8:32 CEV, Jesus speaking: “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
In the US, this is Memorial Day, the day we set aside to remember those who went before us, and especially those who died insuring our freedom from tyranny. Freedom is a precious commodity, and we’re blessed to be living in a country that values it.
Jesus talks of another kind of freedom. In his day, Romans had conquered the Hebrew nation, and they were anything but free. But Jesus was teaching the truth about God, about scripture and about life-after-this-life in God’s Kingdom. There’s freedom in being adopted into the heavenly family by believing in Jesus. That kind of freedom can’t be taken from you, regardless of the political climate in a country.
Jesus’ brand of truth and freedom fills us with eternal hope!
Blessings on today’s holiday!
