Three Brothers Heading for Iraq

"Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:7-8)

Have you heard about the three brothers, Michael, Allen and Reginald Mouton from Texas? They are Army sergeants who are heading for the same army base in Iraq. Although they could request different bases, they never asked because they wanted to take care of each others! They would die for one another!

You see, the Mouton brothers have learned to love one another from their mom. They love their mom and consider her their role model knowing all the sacrifices she has made. Their mom knows the danger and risks involved. She is very proud of her sons. She wishes she could go in their place but she will not ask them not to serve their country.

I remember the movie, "Saving Private Ryan" where soldiers were trying to save the last brother of a family from the war. Do you believe there is someone who loves you so much that He died for you on the cross?
