Preaching Goes Viral

What is God saying through COVID-19?

Theodicy (C): COVID as call to action, repentance, and so on.

What is God saying to the world through this Coronavirus crisis? He’s calling us to repentance. He is calling you, my dear unbelieving friend, to repentance. And I want to unpack that from this passage, along the lines of four things God is saying through the Coronavirus. I. Death is Certain Number one: through the Coronavirus, God is awakening in our consciences the reality that death is certain. The crowds come to Jesus for an explanation of these tragedies But rather than speak about the dead, He turns to address the living. And He says, “I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” He turns to the crowds, and as it were He turns to us, and He says, in effect, “These have already died. Time is up for them. What about you? Don’t you realize that your death is certain? Are you ready to face it?
