Several years ago, I heard a very popular Christian speaker talk to a large audience for an hour. He said nothing heretical. He said nothing controversial. He just focused on the “unconditional” love of God. Again, nothing wrong with what he did say, but it is what he did not say that bothered me. He said nothing about repentance of sin. There is a reason John the Baptist introduced Jesus to the world with the proclamation in Matthew 3:2: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
There is a popular trend in the American Christian church. The trend is to talk of the love of God without talking about the justice of God. But if you read the Bible, it is clear, there exists both the grace of God and the wrath of God, and Jesus Christ spoke of both.
On Sunday, May 17, 2026, Americans from across the nation will gather on the National Mall for Rededicate 250, a once in a lifetime faith event that celebrates America’s 250th anniversary with a national jubilee of prayer, praise, and thanksgiving.
The event was originally announced by President Donald J. Trump during remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast February 5th, where he described Rededicate 250 as a national moment of prayer and unity, saying, “On May 17th, 2026, we’re inviting Americans from all across the country to come together on our National Mall to pray, give thanks, and rededicate America as One Nation Under God,” as the country approaches its Semiquincentennial.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the Garden of Gethsemane. Even as the Son of God, Jesus understood the weight of human sorrow. In that sacred moment, He felt deep anguish and prayed that the cup might pass from Him. Yet He chose to surrender to the Father’s will—for one purpose: our freedom.
Easter reminds us that freedom is never accidental. It is secured through courage, conviction, and sacrifice.
