In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” We are more than conquerors. We are more than warriors. We are more than soldiers. We are more, because we are children of God and heirs with Christ.
As we gather here this morning to remember those brave men and women who have laid down their lives for us and for our life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, we give thanks that we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. We are more than conquerors because the most severe war has already been won. We know that Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again. We know that through His death and resurrection, He defeated sin, death, and the forces of the devil, and He gives us the spoils of that conquest.
Even though the forces of evil be arrayed against us, we need not fear. Even though the devil come against us to take our life, goods, fame, child, or wife, we know the victory has been won. We give thanks for those who fought valiantly and gave their lives for us, because we know that the Champion of heaven gave His life for them, and they have the victory through His blood.
Today, give thanks for those who died for you to protect this nation and people. Give thanks for the blessings which God gives you which these brave men and women fought to preserve for you. Give thanks that your life here is daily and richly blessed, and that your life in heaven is secure. “In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.”
In the Name of Jesus. Amen.
