Yesterday we held special assemblies to honor veterans in celebration of the upcoming Veterans Day. We prayed for our veterans, honored them through music, and listened as a panel of students and faculty members shared a glimpse of what it’s like to serve in the military or to have a parent/spouse serve. Our choir and our band honored veterans with songs that celebrated our country. It was a special and moving event!  

It is always meaningful to celebrate our veterans because of the personal connections we all have with friends, family members, and loved ones who have served or are serving in our armed forces. We thank the Lord for their service and sacrifice.  

We live in a broken world full of “wars and rumors of war,” and because of this we are especially grateful for service members who have chosen to move toward that brokenness for the sake and safety of others. Does that remind you of anyone? The ultimate “Serviceman,” Jesus? On the cross Jesus won the battle that we needed fought on our behalf most of all. Our hero and savior defeated sin and death at the cross, and He will consummate His final victory at His return!
