A Vaccine?
Well in recent news reports we are hearing of some apparent success in the testing of a vaccine for Coronavirus by Pfizer and BioNTech. This is great news, and we all long that it might be the ray of sunshine we have been longing for that heralds the dawn to an end to
the current difficulties that we are facing. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the fear of Covid became a
thing of the past, and that we might be able to return to some normality, including being able to see loved ones, businesses back on track, and an end to the restrictions,
the fear and anxiety.
Scientists seem to be quietly optimistic, while all the time explaining that there’s a long way to go before we can know for sure.
Well, we hope and pray that it might be a reality, and meanwhile, continue to follow the necessary restrictions that we are facing in this second lockdown.
Did you know that Christians have discovered a different kind of vaccine? Not for coronavirus, but for life! There’s so much good in the world, but sadly there’s selfishness in each of our hearts too. Each human from the newborn baby to the oldest grandad carries around in them the virus of selfishness and sin. A virus which infects us all and sadly will one day end in death.
But wonderfully, God hasn’t left us without a solution. Clinical trials (if I can put it like that) by many millions of Christians through the Centuries have proved that God’s
solution is effective. God has given us the wonderful good news of his Son, Jesus Christ as the antidote to sin and death. Millions have found that by turning to him, and trusting him they have found hope in the face of death, and real change in life.
The Bible says, “taste and see that the Lord is good”. Now that is a clinical trial worth taking part in!
