Some of the Jewish people were able to escape the Roman army that had surrounded Jerusalem. They went to the fortress of Masada, where they had food and water and were safe. However, 3½ years later the Romans had surrounded Masada and were about to take the fortress and make slaves of the Jewish people. The Jewish people on Masada met and decided that they would rather die than be the slaves of the Romans. When the Romans breached the wall on top of Masada, they found that no one was alive to be taken prisoner.
One of the founding fathers of our nation, Patrick Henry, made the following statement: “Give me liberty or give me death.” We Americans will always choose to live in freedom and never as slaves, or we would rather not live. Those of us who are Christians know the true meaning of freedom and liberty. Jesus said, “If you abide in my Word, then you are truly disciples of mine, and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” “If therefore the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.” (John 8:31-32, 36) We are all set free from our sins when we put our faith in Jesus Christ as Savior.
