Matt 24:6
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that
ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not
yet.
It was the eleventh hour of the eleventh day in the eleventh
month in 1918 when the world celebrated as a treaty was signed ending what
was to be "the war to end all wars" - World War I.
One year later, on what came to be known as
Armistice Day, Americans came together to remember and honor the sacrifices of
the men and women who served during the war. Soldiers who survived the war
marched in parades and were honored by speeches and ceremonies recognizing
their contribution to peace throughout the world.
Congress declared Armistice Day a national holiday in
1938. Three years later, on December 7th,
1941, Americans realized World War I would not be the last war. After the Second World War, which was even
bloodier than the first, Armistice Day continued to be observed. In 1954,
Congress changed the name of the holiday to Veterans Day to include
veterans of all United States wars.
On Calvary’s Hill Jesus gave His life that we might
live. His sacrifice ended the war between man and God. Believers are destined
for a place where there will be no more war.
Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears
from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Dear Lord, today we enjoy many great freedoms because of
the sacrifice of others. We remember your sacrifice and the peace we enjoy with
the Heavenly Father. AMEN
