Greater love has no man than this...

Libingan ng Mga Bayani

...that a man lay down his life for his friends.
We celebrate our country's independence day every June 12th and we remember those who died for the cause of freedom. And all we have to remember them by is a cross. Each cross represents a life that was ransomed to realize the freedom that we enjoy today.
It made me realize that the men and women symbolized by each cross were not the first to offer their lives for us. Someone first offered His life for us two thousands years ago so that we might also be free today. And in the same way, we are reminded by this ultimate sacrifice through His cross. May it not remain just a memory but a living reminder of the greatest love ever known.
