Times of Remembrance

On the anniversary of the Sept 11 tragedy, it is pertinent to remember that in times of trouble it is vital for people to turn to Jesus.

It is difficult to explain why terrible things happen in people's lives. This is when they need Jesus most as he can help them sort through their grief as a "comforter" and friend. 2 Corinthians 1:4 says that He comforts us in our times of trouble and that we in turn can comfort others. This is key with dealing with those who are hurting - to be with them as a shoulder to cry on and to give words of hope and comfort. Ultimately, Jesus gives everyone the opportunity to have hope - for life and better times.
