14-The Cainadian Champion, Fniday, October 26, 2001 Where was Jesus on September 11, 2001? The Bible assures believers that God will neyer leave us, nor forsake us, yet in contemplation of terrible times of crisis, tragedy and adversi- ty, bewildered people often wonder, "God, where are you?". This well- crafted letter attributed to Jesus gives us possible insight into the activities of God during the critical moments that surrounded the recent terrorist attacks in New York City. You say you will neverforget where you were when you heard the news, Sept. 11, 2001. Neither will I. I was on the llOthfloor in a smoke fi lied room with a man who called his wife to say "Good-Bye." I held his fin gers steady as he dialled. I gave hlm the peace to say, "Honey, I ar nfot going to make it, but it is OK ... I arn ready to go." I was with his wife when he called as she fed SBANAl Informai Dscussions every Wednesdoy evening The VirtUe of Enthusiasm CF lnfa calI: 905-878-001 WATCH VISION TV 'The Power of Prayer" Tuesdlay, October 30, 2001 at 10:00 Pm 1-800-433-3284 www.bahoi.org senio Paorn So.o Dnr Roa Ghlldren Mr*.

I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a woman cried out to me for help. "I have been knock- ing on the door of your heart for SO years!" I said. "0f course I will show you the way home - only believe in Me now." I was at the base of the building with the compassionate Chaplain who was ministering to the i njured and devastated souls. I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He heard my voi ce and answered. I was on ail four of those planes, i n every seat, with eveiy prayer. I was with the crew as they were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the believers there. Comforting and assuring them that their Faith -in Me has saved them. I was in Toronto, Texas, Kansas and London. I was standing next to you when you heard the terri- ble news. Did you sense Me? I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew every name - though they did NOT ail know Me. Some met Me for the first time on the JOOth floor. Some sought Me out in their last breath. Some couidn't hear Me calling to them through the smoke and fiames, "Come to Me... this way... take My hand. " Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me. But, I was there. 1 did flot place you in the Tower that day - you may flot know why, but I DO. However, if you were there in that explosive moment in time, wouid you have reached for ME? September 11, 2001 was not the end of the journey for you. But someday your jour- ney will end. And I will be there for you as well. Seek Me now while i may be 9 found. Then, at any moment, you know you are "ready to ¶4 go." I will be in the stairwell of your final moments. Love, Jesus To leamn more about how*God's love , consider visiting a local church this week!
