Ground Zero

Ground Zero

On September eleventh, in
New York City, a jetliner,
a big airplane, carrying God's
masterpieces, His people, crashed into
the World Trade Center.
Ground Zero.
Thousands of lives were lost.
As rescue workers were searching
for survivors, in the ruble, a cross fell,
from out of one of the buildings.
A piece of aluminum, on one
of the crosspieces.
Jesus died on the cross, to buy back our
every sin.
After three days in the grave
Jesus was raised in glory.
Jesus gave His life, to buy back death.
The blood and pain
that our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ shed,
upon that old rugged cross, has paid for our
every sin.
The cross at Ground Zero carried a piece of
reflective material on a cross member.
Rescue workers put the cross back, into an
opening in the building from which it fell.
On the piece of reflective material, God showed
His precious smiling face.
Yes! Godly love.
A number of lives were taken away,
from family and friends.
These people, yes dearly loved ones
died in the flesh, as Jesus did.
God is love!
God took the souls of His precious people
to be with Him and His Son,
our loving Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,
in His heavenly place.
God brought the cross to the
attention of those people at Ground Zero
because Jesus died on the cross, to buy
back our every sin.
Through the power of the cross,
each man, woman, girl, and boy are in
unity with our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ.
I believe, that God, brought,
the cross to our attention through the
rubble, of the World Trade Center to let
us know that He is in control.
At the foot of the cross, everyone is
on level ground.
It's through the blood that Jesus shed
that all have been forgiven.

THE SUPREMACY OF CHRIST

Colossians 1: 15-23
"He is the image of the invisible God,
the first born over all creation.
For by him all things were created:
things in heaven and on earth, visible and
invisible, whether thrones or powers or
rulers or authorities; all things were
created by him.
He is before all things, and in him all
things hold together.
And he is the head of the body, the
church; he is the beginning and the firstborn
from among the dead, so that in everything
he might have the supremacy.
For God was pleased to have all his
fullness dwell in him,
And through him to reconcile to himself
all things, whether things on earth or things
in heaven, by making peace through his
blood shed on the cross.
Once you were alienated from God
and were enemies in your minds because of
your evil behavior.
But now he has reconciled you by
Christ's physical body through death to
present you holy in his sight, without
blemish and free from accusation -
If you continue in your faith, established
and firm, not moved from the hope held out
in the gospel. This is the gospel that you
heard and that has been proclaimed to every
creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul,
have become a servant. "

Dear Father God
I most humbly thank you,
for the blood of your loving Son,
which was shed upon the cross.
Your blood, dear Father, that has washed,
mankind clean of their every sin,
and set us free.
Father, I humbly pray for your peace to
give each Ground Zero survivor, strength.
I pray for your peace to guard their hearts
and minds in Jesus Christ.
Father I pray for the scales to be
removed from each of the survivor's eyes,
so that they can see that you are at work here.
You brought the cross to the world's
attention dear Father, as a sign of
forgiveness.
What happened here Father, is
terrible in the eyes of humans.
A lot of lives were lost. Loving families
have been broken, by the loss of loved
ones.
Father, all things work to the good
for those who love you. Those called
according to your purpose.
I believe dear Father, that you took these
lives, so that these people wouldn't have
to go through tougher times that lay
ahead.
Father, I pray, that the lives that were
taken, were raised in glory. Like the life
of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Father, I pray, from the depths of my
humble Christian heart, that your peace
which transcends all understanding to guard
the hearts and minds of each survivor.
I pray for your peace to give each survivor
strength and endurance.
I pray dear Father God that the survivors
will be able to persevere.
Father God, in the mighty name of Jesus,
I beg you to place a suit of your spiritual
armor around each of the survivors
so that they may be strong in Christ,
and withstand the trials that they are going through.
Father, I pray for the survivor's hearts
to be open to Jesus.
I pray Father, for Jesus to lead each survivor
across to the other side.
I pray dear Father, for each survivor
to be strong in their faith.
I humbly pray dear Father, that what has
happened, here in New York City,
at Ground Zero will open the eyes of everyone.
I firmly believe dear Father God that you
brought the cross to the world's attention
to show that you are always in control.
Glory be to Jesus. Amen.

The cross is now placed on top of
a building for the entire world to see.
The cross is God's symbol of
forgiveness.
These survivors have persevered,
because of God's love.
In Jesus we are free.

James 1: 12
"Blessed is the man who perseveres
under trial, because when he has stood
the test, he will receive the crown of
life that God has promised to those
who love him."
Hail Jesus, you're our King!
Praise God. Glory be to Jesus.
Amen
