When our children were young, we took a vacation to Washington D.C. We saw the many different memorials. The highlight of our trip was Arlington National Cemetery. It was quite a moment standing there with my wife and children watching the changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier. It was a very special lesson for our children- our freedom that we enjoy every day comes at a cost. How thankful we should be for those that were willing to pay the ultimate price that we might remain free
God has given us another lesson as well. An even greater tomb- the empty tomb. The empty tomb reminds us that Jesus is the perfect sacrificial lamb, that His love for us was demonstrated at Calvary, that He has won victory over Satan, death, and the grave. When we share in Jesus' death and burial through baptism we will also share in His resurrection!
