1. Don’t Forget to Remember
Hebrews 12:1-3

2. It is the VETERAN, not the preacher, who has given us freedom of religion. It is the VETERAN, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the VETERAN, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the VETERAN, not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom to assemble. It is the VETERAN, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. It is the VETERAN, not the politician, who has given us the right to vote.

3. The Witnesses Who Surround Us vs. 1a
They are seated with the saints of old
They have finished their race
They made mistakes (weren’t perfect)
They arrived at their destination

4. The Witnesses Who Surround Us vs. 1a
They are cheering us on
They are seated in the grandstands
They are our greatest encouragers
They are disappointed in our mistakes
They are for us

5. The Witnesses Who Surround Us vs. 1a
They are waiting our arrival
They don’t know when we are coming
Time is irrelevant to them
Today is the day form their perspective
