1 Chronicles 29:1-30; Ezekiel 26:1-21; John 9:18-41
Because I live, you will live also. John 14:19 NKJV
In many nations, this is a day of remembrance for those who died in times of war. In some countries, a red poppy is worn to remember the fallen. The symbol comes from a poem, In Flanders Fields by William McCrae, a Canadian doctor who served in World War 1. Looking at the many graves in war torn Belgium, he noticed the little red flowers springing up, a tiny sign of life in fields of death. We remember those who died today, but our hearts should also turn
to another place of death, Calvary. Christ finished His work there and rose from the grave. Because of Him we too will rise, glorious life springing from that place of death. —S.M.
Because He lives I can face tomorrow, because He lives all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future, and life is worth the living,
Just because He lives. —Gloria and William Gaither
