Today, President Wilson mentioned 9/11 in Chapel, as well as the events that plagued each generation- for the Silent generation, it was WWI and WWII. For Boomers, it was WWII, Vietnam War, and the Korean War. For Gen X, it was Vietnam. For Millennials, it was 9/11. For Gen Z, it was 9/11 for the early Gen Zs and now COVID-19 for the more recent-borns.
He went on to say that Satan tries to get into our hearts and minds so he can disrupt our spirits. He incorporated it into the 5-day series on the crossame (today was the last day) by stating that when Jesus died on the cross, he took sin and evil with him. He freed us all, and blazed the path to get into Heaven. That the days of God’s punitive punishments were over, because Jesus had suffered for us. Satan was there outside of Jeruselum, silently rejoicing in Jesus’ suffering and brutal death. But he never won.
