Preaching Goes Viral

Is COVID-19 From God

Analogies to Mythic Narratives

You see a lot of this. I think sometimes we almost overlook it because it is so prevalent, but in the Bible and in particularly in biblical times and particularly among Jews, there was this great. There was this great commonly held mentality about suffering was always punishment. If anyone was suffering, it was because someone was being punished for sin. It was retributive theology. John chapter nine is a great example of this. As Jesus passed by, he saw a man blind from birth and his disciples asked him rabbi who sinned this man or his parents that he was born blind. And Jesus said it was not that this man sinned or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him. Nobody sinned, this is what he says. There is no evidence of any sin here. This is one of those things that happened and what God would do through Jesus was used this as an occasion to glorify God, it doesn't matter where the coronavirus came from. What are you going to do with the opportunities that are placed before you?
