Christian Response to Plagues!

Matthew 25:43 ” I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not cloth Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.” Commentary: How would we measure against the words of Jesus here? In August of 1527 the plague struck Wittenberg and many people fled in fear of their lives! Martin Luther and his wife Kathasina , who was pregnant at the time, remained in their beloved city in order to treat the infected. Despite the calls for him to flee Wittenberg with his family Luther’s mind was set on helping the infected. He inevitably came to the conclusion that it was not inherently wrong for one to so value his life that they would not remain, but only so long as the sick had someone of greater faith and to care for the sick. He balance his position with that the one of a greater faith ought not to condemn the one of the weaker faith who fled! Actually Martin Luther did the right thing! Those who fled had already been infected and this is how it spread across Europe! Same story in America! Back in February New Orleans just had to have their Marti Gras and now they are heavily infected with the Coronavirus! New York Mayor De Blasio mocked Trump and told New Yorkers to go out and celebrate in large gatherings and now look at their city! Some of our politicians are wise and some are fools! You have to discern which ones to listen to! If this plague is as serious as the Black Plague in the 1350’s with over 50% of Europe dying then America will be changed forever! The church will also be transformed! The Mega Churches will disappear! The small church will come back to America! The strength of America was hundreds of thousands of small churches in community with their local towns and cities! No central electronic point where everyone sits back and watches a service from their home! If you die from the Coronavirus your Mega Church Pastor will not be at your funeral! He will not even know who you are and you listened to his program! Jesus said where two or three are gathered together there will I be! Americans are not only socially distanced from each other but spiritually distanced from each other through technology! If God is in fact fed up with this arrangement he will remove it! What we do not want in America is our next Church at Rome becomes TBN! The Anti-Christ will control the world through the internet! You need the security of a local Pastor and a local congregation in your own community! Fox news and the liberal networks will not control my life! I will never give them that power! Washington politicians will not control my life! I will never give them that kind of power! Christ will lead me by his Words! My Bible will be a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path! The Apostle Paul said to live is Christ and to die is gain! This is my attitude towards life! God Bless America! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
