The Sacrifice

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

“This is my commandment, that you should love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:12-13

Over 2,000 years ago God sent His only Son in the world to be sacrificed for our sins. Today, we can accept eternal life with our God of Love because of this sacrifice. Five years ago, on Flight 93, some sisters and brothers who had never met before, covertly developed a pact of sacrificing themselves to save many of us. They called their loved ones. Then they prayed this prayer. Would you join me in praying the prayer of our Lord and with each word, reflect on the brave brothers and sisters of Love as well as the Ultimate sacrifice of Love for us:

“Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name,
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors
And lead us not into temptation and deliver us from evil.
(For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever.)
Amen!”

Blessings Always in All Ways,
Steve
