Video of the Day: Clip from the 2016 movie “Hacksaw Ridge”
Bible Verse of the Day:
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us, Romans 5:6-8.
Biblical Connection:
Hacksaw Ridge is based upon the true story of World War II army medic Desmond Doss. Today’s scene details the events of the Battle of Okinawa. Due to a series of events growing up, Doss came to despise weapons from experiences living with an alcoholic father. Although serving in a war without a weapon seems illogical, Doss’ heroism led to the Medal of Honor without firing a shot.
The apostle Paul explains the sacrificial life of Jesus to the Church at Rome. Paul uses common sense to make his argument. Although you may be inspired to lay your life down for a friend, Jesus gave up His life for rebellious sinners. This is what separates the Gospels of Jesus from any other religion. Today, America honors all the soldiers that died so that America could be a free nation.
Closing Song:
As a son of a former Army Captain, I’m thankful for the service and the life my father lived. May you take time today thanking any veteran who fought and served in the armed services.
