 The Key Person at the epicenter of this holiday season, Jesus Christ, has a powerful statement noted in John 15:13, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
The Savior we recognize and remember this holiday season, born in a humble community, who lived among the everyday citizens of his time, would go on to choose a profession - a task, a role - that would demand for Him, His very life. He was born, He lived, and He died so that we might know eternal life. He gave of Himself so that we might possess something better. He served so that we would know peace. He sacrificed so that we might be safe. They may not realize it yet but Law Enforcement are a living example among us of the love of God. Over the past few years, as Law Enforcement are being pummeled all around us, I have worked hard to rally citizens to demonstrate their support for America’s Law Enforcement. I was raised in a family that taught me: freedom is not free, responsibility is part of life, and many serve so that I might enjoy convenience. These lessons laid a strong foundation in me to honor and celebrate Law Enforcement. Sadly, in my day, it has become a profession that is not understood and gravely under-appreciated.
