In this
extremely dangerous time of the Coronavirus, this brings to the table the story
of the Good Samaritan and that the lesson is sifted to separate the goat from
the sheep.
This makes it clear that for the first responders, health workers, doctors, and
those who have an important role to play, it is your actions that determine
whether you are the sheep or the goat. Those of you extending services and
showing compassion on those in need of medication, helping those in dire
straits, and everything that is required of you to do, YOU ARE THE SHEEP and
will be given an eternal reward; those who fail to live in this way, YOU ARE
THE GOAT and will be severely punished.
This is not
about you but this is about us. We are facing this crisis together. For those
who are not connected directly in battling the viral disease, let’s stay at
home to lessen the spread of the virus. I know this isn’t fun, but now is the
time to be selfless, not selfish and for all of us to pull together. We accept
and understand the anxiety, the cabin fever, the impatience, the restlessness,
the unknowns, we get all that. But this is the only way to lessen and mitigate
the impact of the virus.
We have to know
that our being is framed in the image of God. Thus, every opportunity we get to
serve others is an opportunity to follow Christ.
