“One World Trade Center,” formerly known as the “Freedom Tower,” is the main building of the new World Trade Center under construction in Lower Manhattan, in New York City. The building construction began on April 27, 2006, and continues today. Three other high-rise office buildings are planned for the site, and they will surround the World Trade Center Memorial, which is also under construction. In addition, the area will be home to a museum dedicated to the history of the site, and the tragic events that occurred on September 11, 2001. When the construction of ‘One World Trade Center’ is completed, it will be the tallest building in the United States. The official opening of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum is still years away, but visitors to Ground Zero now have a “preview site” where they can share their experiences, learn about New York’s darkest day, and see how construction is progressing.
As we reflect on the tragic events of 9-11, and the new construction work that is being done to rebuild at that same location in New York City, God offers a new rebuilding to be done in each of our lives!
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17
May it be our prayer that God, in His infinite mercy, would make our lives a building zone of new construction, with all of the ugliness of the past wiped away; and that we would behold, “all things becoming new” – in Christ Jesus! Amen.
