The family of man, fearfully, awaits being able to avoid the death of a present day pandemic. Their “tomorrow solution” hangs around blood with antibodies being transferred from an earthly stranger, who was infected with the virus and physically lived.
The family of God, filled full of Hope, never needs to wait to avoid a timeless pandemic death. Their “today SOULution” hangs in blood, infused with forgiveness, from Christ their heavenly Brother. This Life Saver suffered physical death so that we, each and every one of us, could be transfused, and transformed, with the spiritual blood of eternal life.
Today dawns Good Friday. Will we, as the family of man, choose to tremble under the cloud of no current transfusion to thwart the worldly executioner of COVID19 death? Or, will we, as the family of God, choose to live in the SONlight of Christ’s blood, already transfused and curing us from the deadliest disease of all – sin?
Either way, as the solemnity of today embraces us, may we take shelter in the healing arms of Christ. God’s mercy to us all !!!
