Sermon for the Third Last Sunday of the Church Year, AD 2026
Nov 8, 2026 • Rev. Christopher Antonetti
We have the certainty that just as the members of the body go wherever the head of the body goes, so wherever Christ goes there go His believers in who sleep in Him. On that funeral day we can and will mourn the parting. The Christian remembers – this believer is truly in a better place in every way than he was here on earth. This Christian is closer to God than she has ever been. This believer is eternal joy, peace, and free from all sin, shame, and sadness. The Christian can think – I know this and hold to this confidently, because my Lord Jesus Christ died and rose from the dead, and He does not abandon His own. This is our great confidence!
