It was no coincidence that Lightening Struck 2 hours after Pope announces His Resignation, God is Sovereign over the Elements of the earth: air, water and fire and His timing is perfect, I am glad Jesus did not resign at Gethsemane but was resolved to Submit to God the Father's will declaring not my will be done by thy will be done! Henceforth, He secured my Salvation! The Marks of following Jesus and being a Vicar and Representative of Jesus on this earth is that you follow Him to the end without resigning but that you persevere to the end as He Did, who for Joy set before Him endured the cross despising its shame and Sat at the Right Hand of the Throne of God! Following Christ means persevering to the end even when faced with the trials, sickness, pain and agony of our physical body in this life, and a believer can only endure to the end when God's grace is sufficient for you in your weakness and at the surrender of your will to His will indeed!
Westminster Confession of Faith Chapter XVII, Of the Perseverance of the Saints: I. They, whom God has accepted in His Beloved, effectually called, and sanctified by His Spirit, can neither totally nor finally fall away from the state of grace, but shall certainly persevere therein to the end, and be eternally saved
