Joseph Campbell once wrote on the topic of Memorial Day: “A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.”
This Memorial Day weekend is always an opportunity of remembrance and thanks to our soldiers who have given their lives for the safety and protection of the country we are so privileged to live in. And while our allegiance, as Christians, is always and utterly to God, we can nevertheless stop and thank Him for the many men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for this country and for us. Indeed, their sacrifice, and Joseph Campbell’s sentiments, are reflections of a greater truth - the ultimate hero, Jesus Christ!
So thank a vet this weekend, remember the fallen, and worship the greatest of heroes - the Lord Jesus Christ!!
