John 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. 30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work? 31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
There are persons who would never believe, no matter how many miracles, signs, and explanations God may give. Some of the people in Christ’s day required a sign, just like satan clamored for miracles, but conclusive evidence did nothing to sway their minds in the direction of believing. There are some who might be struggling with the issue of the current pandemic, who might desire some sign from God in order to believe.
But if God were to send an angel from heaven to heal many persons, there are doubts that could still arise. Thus, some may question whether the word of God, its promises and its assurances are sufficient for us to lean on, at such a time as this, or whether we should have back up, just in case.
Almost two years ago we raised the prospect of mandatory vaccinations across the U.S. as a result of Covid and his brethren stalking the land in high and low places. In those early discussions, the role of the church, and its subsequent actions were then brought into question, since we would be facing the prospect of following the leader, as directives come down from persons in authority.
Jeremiah 17:5 Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. 6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
