This is a time when we remember all the brave men and women that gave their lives for our Freedoms!

There is something about that….it took people before us to give us the freedom to live!

I will always celebrate my fallen brothers and sisters and the legacy they left behind

Today, however, I want us to look at another who died for ALL

This is Jesus who died for ALL

He spoke these things so that we might have peace.

Jesus said in vs 33 “in Me you may have peace”

It is because of his death, burial and resurrection that peace was possible

Peace from the desires of Satan because Jesus was greater

In the United States today, we can have peace because of those who paid the price for us.

Because they were willing to fight for the freedom to become “One Nation Under God”

Because they were willing to fight that you may be able to execute the free will that God gave us

As wonderful as that is, only Jesus death, burial and resurrection granted us real freedom…..from the penalty of sin.

Jesus said “in Me you may have peace, in the world you will have tribulation.”

The peace that we all so desperately seek is available but the world tries to block it from you

In the world, we have senseless slaughter of children both unborn and born

We have evil that is more celebrated than good.

We have immoral and illegal acts that are everyday cast as “normal” or even “good”

How can we look at our world today and find any peace?

Our men and women, that gave their lives for this country, gave everyone freedom but some misuse it

Jesus gave us freedom from the very sin that we commit which gives ultimate peace

In fact, even after He said there will be trouble in the world

He said “take courage, I have overcome the world”

Today, in all the anxiety of this wicked lost world, remember Jesus has overcome!

Today you may be still anxious because you do not know Jesus

My question is, are you ready for peace?

Know Jesus
Know Peace

No Jesus
No Peace
