Courage, Faith, and Sight

This past weekend was Memorial Day. Usually just a time when people picinc and spend time with family. The reason for the holiday is to remember those who gave their lives so that we can be free. I believe that we were created to be free. We were created in order that we would live out of our potential. Throughout history men and women have layed down their lives in order that we as a nation, culture, people would be able to live out of our potential.
I believe that freedom has been God's plan for humanity from the begining. Jesus coming to earth was nothing more than a beechhead formed on the shore of lost humanity. Jesus came to set humanity free. Free from the enslavemnet of sin. Free from not having a choice do good out of pure motives. Free from the blindness of the world that surrounds us. Jesus came and died that we would have the freedom to see the world as it really is. A spiritual world at war.
The problem is that most people live life like we are not at war. Most people live life like there really is no spiritual world. The world screams that what you see is what you get. It tells us that there is nothing beyond what you see. God honors faith above what we see.
