"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
This is a really important thing to remember, especially on a day such as this. So many families are looking back and thinking about the tragedy that happened 11 years ago, thinking about their loved ones that they lost on that day.
After the attack in 2001, churches were filled with people looking for answers. They wanted comfort. They wanted peace.
With these words (John 16:33), Christ told his disciples to have courage. In spite of the inevitable struggles they would face, they would not be alone. Jesus does not abandon us to our struggles either. If we remember that the ultimate victory has been won, we can claim the peace of Christ in the most troublesome times.
