1 Chronicles 29:1-30; Ezekiel 26:1-21; John 9:18-41
If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed. John 8:36
The freedoms we enjoy as citizens are founded upon the sacrifice of those who fought and died for our nation. Today is set aside to remember them and we find ourselves grateful and humbled. Naturally, as we think of sacrifice and freedom, it turns our heart to the ultimate sacrifice, that of the Lord Jesus who gave His life to give us freedom from sin and death and a lost eternity. There never seems to be an end of earthly wars, but the battle for our soul’s freedom was won once and for all when our Saviour cried, “It is finished”. And now we are free indeed. —S. McEachern
My chains are gone; I’ve been set free, my God, my Saviour has ransomed me,
And like a flood His mercy reigns, unending love, amazing grace. —C. Tomlin
