Bibledoorajar: Food at no cost

     Tomorrow many of us will take the time to honor the memory of those who sacrificed themselves for the good of the many. On the Main Street of our little town, a sign reads: "All gave some, some gave all." It is good to stop and think of what we have received at no cost to us personally.
      God gave the people of Israel manna to eat at no cost. It was a gift from Him and He gave it freely over and over. Jesus was given by God as Bread from Heaven. He was(is) a gift at no cost. God has ensured that His Word has been sustained in the world by seeing that it has been translated into many, many languages and dialects. Spiritually eating is available to us at no cost. If eaten appropriately, the Bread of Heaven sustains us until we can eat again.
     Tomorrow I will spend Memorial Day with a family who will remember those of their family who served in the.military. One of the main ones on their mind will be the aunt who sacrificed her life in Italy as she cared for wounded soldiers at Anzio. The incoming missed the Red Cross on the tent apparently or perhaps the enemy just did not care. Her fellow nurses called her Tex. She died instantly.
     But tomorrow those of us who are Christians will also remember the ultimate no cost sacrifice that God's Gift made for us. He freely died for you and me that we might survive if we choose to feed on Him and the truth found in His Word.

Happy Memorial Day
