This year Remembrance Day fell on a Sunday. The theme for our service was "In Remembrance of Them, In Remembrance of Him." We remembered Canadian soliders who died for the nation they loved, and were remembered Christ who died for the world He loved. Here is how I began the service:
Every year on November 11, Canadians pause in a silent moment of remembrance for the men and women who have served, and continue to serve our country during times of war, conflict, and peace. More than 1,500,000 Canadians have served our country in this way, and more than 100,000 have died. They gave their lives and their futures so that we may live in peace.
As Christians, we also remember Jesus Christ who sacrificed His life for our salvation. The apostle Paul writes in Galatians 2:20, “The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
