"The Bible
instructs us in John 15:12-13 to love others as Christ loves us; Christ
says the Greatest love a person
can display is laying down one’s life for friends as Jesus did for us. Jesus
says “you are my friend if you do what I command”.
You, the Veterans, answered Christ’s command,
as every person who serves in defending our great nation is
laying down their life for their Friends, their fellow Americans and mankind around the globe.
My fellow Americans, each
of these Veterans has laid down their life for Freedom & Liberation, Freedom for America and all of the Free World. You have displayed the Greatest Love.
Yes, you who were
blessed with life after the last shot in the last battle of the war you fought
or served in; laid down your life. Did you not give up months and
years of your lives to serve?
Flint Whitlock in his recent book “The
Fighting First”; tells the story of the Big Red One from Omaha Beach, to the
hedge rows, Battle of Aachen, the Hurtgen Forest to the Battle of the Bulge,
states that 60 years later the surviving veterans still have nightmares from
battle.
Perhaps some, if
not all of you, still have nightmares from battle. The fact of memories lingering forever in
your mind, whether from 60+ years or less than a month ago; are further
evidence of laying down your life for mankind.
Naturally, some have or still do
wonder why you survived while others did not. The only answer I have is that each
day anyone awakens, regardless of age or state of health, God is saying “I have
plans for you - today”.
God has led his people into battle and
victory, since nearly the beginning of time.
We are in constant pursuit of World Peace, which is World Hope.
The Biblical definition for Peace is not the
absence of negative, rather the presence of positive, the presence of HOPE, the
presence of Christ--the Prince of Peace. Jesus continues to bring hope
despite the continual presence of evil."
World, National, State, Community, Family or Individual resides only in the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ.
See Christ, Believe Christ, Achieve with Christ!
