Pandemics

A Pandemic?

It seems that when we turn on the radio, all we're hearing about now is the "Swine Flu Pandemic". A pandemic exists that has been around since almost the beginning of time: it's called "Sin".

Romans 3:10 "as it is written,
THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE; THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD; ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS; THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE."

Just as the medical world is seeking to intervene and put an end to this before it gets out of hand and kills thousands of people, there is a God who saw the desperate condition of mankind and sent a "remedy": His Son, to die for the sins of the world, and ALL who believe and accept Him as their personal Savior, will live. Just like a flu pandemic, no one will be safe unless they receive the vaccine. So it is with 'Sin', all of our own efforts will prove useless before a Holy God. The only "remedy" is receiving the sacrifice already provided, the sinless sacrifice of the blood of Jesus Christ to cleanse us from our sin.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." (NASB)
