Undeniably, the world sucks on many levels nowadays. It’s upside down. For some of us, more on a personal level (me, Faith-ing it one day at a time). For others, just in general. Nevertheless, there is plenty for which to be thankful. For me, today, it’s Christ’s example, and you’ll see why. I recently came across this writing that exemplifies His love, sacrifice, and resolute will:
“Be grateful that Jesus looked evil in the eye and didn’t blink. When falsely accused at his trials, he didn’t answer. When mocked and spit upon, he refused to retaliate. When nailed to a cross, he asked his Father to forgive his tormentors. But when placed in a tomb after his murderers thought they had won, he burst the bonds of death to give eternal life to all who believe in him. ‘So let us be thankful because we have a kingdom that cannot be shaken. (Hebrews 12:28).’” -Edgard A. Guest
Stuff like this, you know, drives one to the foot of the cross. Feeling I have Christ in my corner keeps my faith unshaken when I need it the most. So for His example, my friends, I am thankful.
