Text of Tim Keller's 9/11 address

A while ago I posted on Tim Keller addressing 9/11 victims as well as dignitaries (e.g., President Bush) on the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Well, Pastor Keller's son Michael has posted the text of the eight-minute sermon -- as transcribed by members of the White House. Keep in mind that this message was given at an interfaith memorial. I echo Michael's astute remark:

"While many others would have used the pulpit in front of so many political figures to espouse either their own political views, or some well meaning yet ill-timed altar call type message- [Keller] focused on those suffering and in pain and tried to speak to them in their loss of their loved ones with the message that there is a God, the God, who knows exactly what it feels like and can therefore relate to them in their pain."
