Arkansas high school teacher Martha Cothren would disagree with the football players who are refusing to stand during the playing of their country’s national anthem. When her students arrived at school, there were no desks. When none of the students could tell her how they had earned the right to sit at a desk, they had to sit on the floor. When the final period came, Ms. Cothren opened her door and several war veterans walked in, each carrying a chair. She then told her students they had not earned the right to sit at desks. It was the veterans who had paid the price so the students could get an education. Similarly, nobody has ever earned the right to be called a Christian. Jesus made that possible by His dying on the cross. Paul explained, “by grace we are saved through faith, and that not of ourselves, it is the gift of God.”
