SALUTE TO VETERANS

The Revelation 7: 14b-17
These are they who came out of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the Throne of GOD, and serve Him day and night in His Temple; and He that sitteth on the Throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb who is in the midst of the Throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters; GOD shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

A SALUTE TO VETERANS

Jesus said, Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (John 15: 13). The men and women who go to defend the Country against the forces of evil and destruction are those who have chosen to lay down their life for their fellow citizens - their friends.  These honored men and women deserve our respect and our unending thanks for the freedom that we enjoy.  Their love of friends and Country, that passion to defend the liberty of a Nation against oppression, should be saluted and honored. Many Veterans still live among us, when we see them, we should thank them for their service.

In the Revelation passage, we find that the LORD GOD honors those who laid down their life. "These are they that came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes and made them white in the Blood of the Lamb." Martyrs for the cause of right and righteousness; passionate men and women who lifted High the Cross on the field of battle. GOD honors them by dwelling among them; providing for them and giving them Eternal Life. If GOD honors the veterans, ought not we to join Him with our thanksgiving for their service?

THANK YOU VETERANS FOR YOUR SERVICE
