But there’s another type of certainty, friends, and it has to do with our position with Christ. It’s the certainty all believers share; the kind that will not fail. And it comes not from pensions and deadbolts and seat belts and likelihoods. It’s not a formula, and it’s not a strong possibility. It’s Jesus’ innocent blood shed on the cross for us. For you. That innocent blood shed in love and anguish guarantees a position in Christ for all who receive Him. My dear sisters, I ache to think the faces that will surround you this Thanksgiving season might not be the ones you’d counted on seeing. It’s safe to bet that, for better or worse, many of your living and financial situations this year are not quite what you expected them to be this time last year. It’s possible, if not probable, that many of us feel weak going into this holiday season. The thought of “giving thanks in certainty” only serves to remind you of how positively uncertain life feels right now. Find certainty in nothing but the blood of Christ, Sisters. It is real - the Gospel is true! And for that, let us give thanks! “For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been thus destroyed, yet in my flesh I shall see God, whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. My heart faints within me!” Job 19:25-27
