While one group of patriots fought bravely against greatly outnumbered and better equipped forces attacking the Alamo others fought a different kind of war. The battle for words to clearly say to the world, Texas values, will stand for, will live and die for freedom and independence. Lives at the Alamo were sacrificed. Yet the ripple that spread across Texas stirred the power of patriotism and courage that swells with pride the hearts of Texans to this day.
As a believer in Jesus Christ I am stirred with a different kind of emotion. Our stand took place at Calvary. We were surrounded by the binding cords of sin. It would take a sinless sacrifice to give us our freedom. We could not do it ourselves. Christ didn’t just go to the cross, He went to the grave and resurrected from that grave. Victory was achieved and we were granted forgiveness. To those who call on Christ as Savior are given the Freedom of forgiveness. The gift is still available and the ripple of freedom in Christ is still known today.
Today is Texas Independence Day, freedom is great – Freedom in Christ is best!
