1st John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
Because Covid has now taken the lives of millions of people, and many more will yet be deceased by its deadly sting, it is befitting and well that we set our sights not on the here and now, but on the great hereafter, when Jesus will make all things new. Indeed, it is a very sad time that we are all passing through, where persons cannot spend their final moments surrounded by loved ones, and where the in-person encouragements, and support of friends and families at the graveside have been replaced by virtual zoom funerals from a distance.
Therefore, because there are other waves of viruses and diseases yet to come, The God of heaven desires that we should look beyond that which is seen, to that which is eternal. The promise and guarantee of our resurrection sit at the core of the blessed hope, and it is the will of God that we all should now turn our attention to Jesus Christ who is the resurrection and the life.
According to what is written in the scriptures, if we believe and obey we should not mourn as do others because Christ has guaranteed our resurrection by His death for us on Calvary. For starters, the life, death and resurrection of Jesus was not an afterthought which God had to scramble together in response to the fall of man. Instead, it is a strategic and highly intelligent move, designed to save souls and baffle devils at the same time. God is not into last minute planning, for all His doings are always well-thought out.
Romans 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
