Feeling Patriotic

I remember several years ago, A friend came to visit me and exclaimed "I didn't know you were so patriotic?!"  I kinda smiled and nodded, but at the time, I really didn't know what patriotic meant (don't judge me).  I'm not sure if I heard or paid attention to the term before but to hear it referenced to me, I was a little unsure about the meaning.

Any way, When my friend left, I told my mother about the statement that was made and asked her what Patriotic meant.  She looked at me a little surprised that I didn't know the meaning but told me in essence something along the lines that being Patriotic meant, showing/having pride about my home Country.  That's when I realized my friend was making reference to the Jamaican flag that hung on display when you walked in our house at the time, and at that time I also had a Jamaican flag hanging on my car windscreen.

Well, today I'm feeling Patriotic.  My Patriotism this time has nothing to do with my home Country, rather it's about a place called Calvary.  Calvary is where Jesus died, poured out his blood, experienced shaming and beatings to save me from the eternal penalties of my sins.

Jesus gave His life as a sacrifice to pay the consequences of our sinful actions. As Christians around the world begin to reflect on our Saviour's most precious gift to humans I'm feeling as sense of Patriotism.

This week I'm singing and showing my Patriotism about a  place called Calvary.......
