Infected!
The Corona Virus has been widely publicized as a disease responsible for the deaths of thousands of people. Many have great fear about being infected. They want a vaccine. They stock up on essentials such as toilet paper and water anticipating being quarantined for a time. They buy hand sanitizer and other hygienic products to prevent its spread. Why? They don’t want to get sick and die!
There is a disease that destroys many more lives than the Corona Virus every day. Yet none in the news media discuss it. This disease is responsible for the deaths of billions. This disease is responsible for poverty, STDs, the drug cartels, obesity, addiction, drunk driving, and every other evil perpetrated on society. It is the disease of sin. This problem cannot be solved by a syringe or by stocking up on supplies. It must be solved through repentance and a changed life. That is something that many are unwilling to do. They would rather blame someone else instead of taking ownership of their own lives. So, the disease runs rampant through society and infects billions, and billions die—they die to a life of freedom from sin and become the living dead, slaves to their own passions. They die to prevent dying.
Death eventually comes for all (Hebrews 9:27). Nothing will stop it. Worrying to death about death is death! Jesus gives us freedom from the fear of death (Hebrews 2:14-15). He brings the abundant life! (John 10:10). “Cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O house of Israel?” (Ezekiel 18:31).
