True comfort and peace in this, and any time of despair
Our world is in the grip of a devastating set of circumstances that is removing our loved ones from us and having unimaginable global economic impacts. But there is an even more potent virus in our world that no one can escape. It is called the mortality virus.
This virus has been around since time began and has a 100% success rate. As much as we have tried to delay the inevitable, this mortality virus gets its way.
So, in light of what has just been written, how can true peace and comfort be attained when this mortality virus is lying in wait? This is a good question to ask. There is an antidote available to every person to the mortality virus. It was made available to mankind nearly 2,000 years ago.
Tragically, many do not get the inoculation. Some may not have heard about it, some do not believe in it and others just prefer to take their chances. But those who receive the inoculation are administered with an unexplainable peace, hope and joy which infuses their hearts and minds so no matter what circumstances of life may arise, which includes death, they are the ones who rise above and shine.
The antidote is the Holy Spirt, which has been made available to us through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
While others can succumb to fear about the coronavirus, a stock market crash, a downturn in business or even of death itself, Spiritfilled people remain in a blessed position. Whilst we are not removed from these troubles, our perspective is vastly different. We are a child of the living God. He who is for us is greater than all that can be against us (Romans 8:31).
As Jesus reminded His disciples when speaking about the coming of the Holy Spirit: “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (John 14:27).
We know that, no matter what, we are not alone. God is with us for eternity.
The prophet Jeremiah saw this, a long time ago: “Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might, Nor let the rich man glory in his riches; But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me, That I am the Lord, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,” says the Lord” (Jeremiah 9:23-24).
