"And to think you wrote that seven years ago. Thank you for sharing it with us!"

It stands to reason that when you sleep, you should dream.

To sleep the sleep of the just, one should dream the dreams of the just sleeping.

Happy Memorial Day to all!

Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;
let us shout aloud to the
Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before him with thanksgiving
and extol him with music and song.

Joining you in remembrance of all our fallen warriors.
At church today, I also prayed for the fallen British soldier Lee Rigby. I am still so disturbed and angry that such an unspeakable evil deed was done to that fine young man. I pray he is resting in the arms of Jesus.

As do I. Such an unthinkable act of hatred and violence. I pray too for peace for his family. My heart just breaks for them.

I agree, heart-breaking, is the way to describe it.
It’s hard to comprehend the evil that did this.

True Sacrifice

May 27, 2013

Eric was one of the good guys. As a police officer, he saw his work as service to his community and was fully committed to serving at all costs. Evidence of this desire was seen on the door of Eric’s locker at the police station, where he posted John 15:13.

In that verse, our Lord said, “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.” Those words, however, were not merely noble ideals. They expressed Eric’s commitment to his duty as a police officer—a commitment that demanded the ultimate price when he was killed in the line of duty. It was a real-life display of the heart of true sacrifice.

Jesus Christ lived out the powerful words of John 15:13 within hours of stating them. The upper room event where Jesus spoke of such sacrifice was followed by communion with the Father at Gethsemane, a series of illegal trials, and then crucifixion before a mocking crowd.

As the Son of God, Jesus could have avoided the suffering, torture, and cruelty. He was utterly without sin and did not deserve to die. But love, the fuel that drives true sacrifice, drove Him to the cross. As a result, we can be forgiven if we will accept His sacrifice and resurrection by faith. Have you trusted the One who laid down His life for you?

’Twas not a martyr’s death He died,
The Christ of Calvary;
It was a willing sacrifice
He made for you—for me. —Adams
Only Jesus, the perfect sacrifice, can declare guilty people perfect.

Read: Romans 5:1-11

Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. —John 15:13
Bible in a Year:
2 Chronicles 1-3; John 10:1-23
