D-DAY TROOP CARRIER ABOUT TO LAND

And we’re daily mindful of the Christ, Who entered a land that was once occupied by allies but had since become enemy territory (Jerusalem run by corrupt Roman officials and spiritually vapid Jewish leaders), faced death head on (enduring mockery and that sham of a trial) and paid the ultimate sacrifice (the death of the cross), not only for His generation, but generations to come.

Remember sacrificial soldiers.

Remember the sacrificed Son.
