WATCHING

Luke 23:49 (NKJV) 49 But all His acquaintances, and the women who followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.
   Our Lords death is for the salvation of those who will trust Him with their whole heart, for cleansing from sin and giving life to death. Those who watched the spectacle that day were convicted and condemned if they rejected The Christ, some acknowledged He is God while others left rejected for their contribution to this brutal murder.
   Then there where those who observed from a distance like that of the soldier who fights for the freedom of his people so Jesus laid down His life that we might experience a Life fee of sin. From a distance we have observed the death of our freedom fighters in our land and others, but always the men and women who fight are doing so for us.
    Won't you pray today for the soldier still fighting and for all the families that have given so much for what we have? Make this weekend a Memorial to remember.
Heavenly Father, our lives are yours to use for your Glory, may we bless You in our desire to be a living sacrifice for the Kingdom. May we not stand watching but actively engage the enemy. Amen
