Day 151 (Through the Bible in a year readings for today: 2 Chron. 1-3; John 12:1-19)
REMEMBER!
“This day shall be for you a memorial day, and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord; throughout your generations…” (Exodus 12:14 ESV)
This verse, from the mouth of God Himself, commanded Moses and the Children of Israel to remember the Passover. It was important to remember how the blood of perfect lambs painted over the doorways to their homes caused death to pass over them. This all pointed to Jesus, the Lamb of God who would shed His blood for the salvation of all who believe.
“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13 ESV)
We remember that Jesus died for us so that death will pass over us on our last day, and we will begin eternity in heaven with Him.
Today we remember the members of our nation’s military who gave the greatest sacrifice by shedding their blood for our freedom. May the Lord grant their families His peace and comfort. And may we never forget their sacrifice!
God bless America, land that I love.
Stand beside her and guide her
Thru the night with the light from above.
From the mountains to the prairies
To the oceans white with foam,
God bless America, my home sweet home.
God bless America, my home sweet home. Amen.
