Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

LOOKING BACK ON 9/11 – FAITH MEMORY AND HOPE 25 YEARS LATER

Christianity teaches that death and destruction do not have the final word. Jesus’ resurrection is the foundation of Christian hope. Christians believe that even though death is real and grief is painful, death is not the end. God promises a future in which suffering, mourning, and death will ultimately be overcome.

Twenty-five years after the attacks, we remember those who died, those who survived, those who served, and the families who continue to carry a burden of loss.

We remember the darkness, but we also remember the light that appeared within it.
