The vaccines
for the Covid-19 virus have given us peace and hope that there is a way to live
through this pandemic. We just have to
have faith and believe. No one knows for
sure how this pandemic is going to turn out but there is a glimmer of peace and
hope with the vaccines that are out now. There are some who don’t believe in the
vaccines at all. Some who refuse to believe no matter what they see or here. There’s no reason to live if there’s no hope. There’s no reason to do right if there’s no
hope. Our work is in vain if there’s no
hope. The vaccine is our only hope, just
like Jesus is our only hope to salvation and glory, to overcome this deadly
virus. We just have to believe, trust,
and have faith.
It is Jesus’
unique prerogative to invade “startled,” “terrified,” and “troubled” hearts and to
bring them His eternal peace. The
disciples in Luke’s Gospel were perplexed: “the author of
life” was put to
death, and His body was missing, reported to be mysteriously risen from the
dead. Jesus stood in their midst,
revealing His “flesh and bones,” His “hands
and his feet,” even
asking for something to eat (Luke 24:35-48). This was no ghost; it had been prophesied from
of old, since the days of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, since Moses, Samuel, and
all who follow suit. Our ancestors
yearned to see this day. Blessed are we
who are “witnesses of these things,” who have been given “minds
to understand the Scriptures” and mouths to “preach in his name to
all the nations.” (Acts 3:11-26)
These are
the words that our savior gives us through Scriptures, for those who believe
and have faith in Him. Peace be with
you. Peace to the one who has faith,
hope, trust and believe in what he has done for all mankind. Faith that He is the Son of God. Faith that He has defeated death. Faith that all our sins are forgiven if we
just believe. Faith that the Holy Spirit will be here to guide us until He
comes again. Faith that all we must do is repent, be baptized and believe in
His every word. Peace be with you!
