While Memorial Day is not a requirement for Christians, memorials of victories were commonplace in the Old Testament and New Testament. When Moses and the Israelites left Egypt, they were told to remember what God had done every year (Ex. 12:14). When Joshua and the Israelites later crossed the Jordan River, they put up a pillar of stones to remember what God had done (Josh. 4:1-3). The Book of Judges is filled with accounts of heroes who delivered the Israelites from their enemies. The Books of Kings and Chronicles also contain exciting battle stories which were written to remind us of God’s power and what some were able to accomplish with God’s enablement. In the New Testament, we remember Jesus’ death at every Lord’s Supper. Because of these practices, it seems fitting that we should remember especially godly heroes from Bible times but also those who fought and died to secure our current freedoms.
