Never Forget

Today is the anniversary of a horrific event that happened just a couple years ago. 9/11... a date which will always live in infamy just like December 7, 1941. The tragedy of so many lives lost in the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the lives that were boarded on each plane. Everyone remembers exactly where they were when they heard the news of 9/11. We will always remember what happened to our country.

There is another event in history that stands out to me. It was about 2000 years or so ago. Jesus Christ came to this earth as a man. He was tempted in all ways just like you and me, but He was without sin. He was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. A gruesome death... He was beaten, bruised, crowned with thorns, and hung on a cross.

Two events here... Today it seems that only one is getting attention. The attacks of 9/11 were tragic and horrible to say the least. We always remember, especially on this date. How much more should we remember what Jesus did for us some 2000 years ago?!

Everyday it should be remembered. Jesus died, but He died for you and me. Where were you when Jesus found you? When He came to you in the midst of you distress, just when you were about to give up, He found you and saved you... do you remember?

I remember where I was when the World Trade Center was hit, but more importantly I remember the night God came down and saved me. The greatest thing in this life is when God comes straight to you and saves you. No greater love than a man that laid down His life for us. Now that's something to remember... NEVER FORGET.
