Remembrance Sunday is many things to many people. Like a funeral, but on a national scale, it is a time to weep and mourn for the loss of life. It is also a time to give thanks for the hand of God at work in bringing justice over evil and ending tyranny by using nations to punish other nations - something God has been doing since time began.
But it is also, above all else, a time to think. A time to think on the evil that lives in the hearts of us all and the need for a greater and better sacrifice, a greater and better love, to give true victory and peace. That sacrifice and love is only found in Jesus as He died on Calvary; not for His friends and family, but for His enemies, for godless sinners who deserved only wrath.
