I listed to Anthony Hopkins being interviewed and found it very interesting,in case you didn't know he is a very famous British actor who was born in Wales.He mentioned that when he was a young lad,he said that he was an ,idiot and that he was told that he would never amount to anything,well they got that wrong.I want to highlight some of the things he said , '' To live continually in doubt, I know nothing , if you know certainties your dead',He mentioned as examples of the danger of holding certainties , Hitler and Stalin.Let us ask the question is it true if you hold certainties,you are dead? It depends on what the certainties are.are they built on truth,Nazism was not built on truth,but on a fabrication of lies, likewise Stalin's socialism promising an equality of ownership and well being,turned out to be a monstrous nightmare,it was on a par with Nazism, uncle Joe didn't live up to his friendly name.There are so many examples of people we could mention who held to perverted certainties,in religion ,politics and in so many areas of. life.Now just to end off , lets consider Christ ,now we have to be honest and say that in the visible church there have always been those who have held certainties that were were far removed from Him who is the way the truth and the life. (John 1 we4 v 6 ) When we consider Christ,as revealed in the scriptures we discover one in whom we can have a sure and certain hope.
