We enjoy tremendous freedom at Crossroads. We are made free by the truth of God's Word. We can eat donuts and drink coffee and worship in a casual and relaxed atmosphere and know that God loves us. But we are free to worship that way because other's were willing to pay the price for our freedom.
It always seems to come down to that, doesn't it? No one was ever made free without the sacrifice of someone else. We are free to worship as we choose in this country because of the sacrifice of others. People who were willing to die so others could be free.
Jesus said the greatest love that anyone could ever have, is to lay down their life for someone else. And he provided the ultimate demonstration of that sacrifice through his life-giving, freedom-bringing death on the cross.
Celebrate today the glorious history of our nation and the sacrifice of our forefathers. Celebrate each day the One who modeled it for them and for us!
