The Disruption is Huge

The coronavirus disruption will be as impactful throughout the world as the parting of the Red Sea was to the Israelites when they exited Egypt in 1486 BC. Devout Jews, 3500 years later, still consider the exodus as the pivotal event in their history.

The possibility that I am right demands we ask, “What is God saying to the entire world?”

His message is clear: Wake up. Follow me.

God is calling believers – those who have trusted Jesus as Savior and Lord to wake up from their apathy and indifference and greed and selfishness and pride return to Him. We (believers) have given lip service to worshipping God; less than 20% of the population of the USA is in church on Sunday, less than 10% read their Bible daily and even fewer live a lifestyle that pleases God.

God uses all things to advance His kingdom, and He will use the coronavirus to grow the kingdom; He is pleading with believers to wake up and follow the commands of Jesus:

• Love God with our entire being by sharing the good news that Jesus satisfied each person’s sin debt by his death on a cross and subsequent resurrection, and 
• Love your neighbors by meeting their needs.

If believers respond to this message from God, the world will witness the greatest revival ever.

God is calling unbelievers to wake up to the good news that Jesus is the way to God. “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.” God created a perfect world – until Satan tempted Adam and Eve, and they sinned. Their sin separated them from God, led to their physical death and introduced sin in their children and all future generations. Man cannot solve the sin problem, but God sent Jesus to die for sinners and by believing in Jesus anyone can be saved. The wake-up call from God is worldwide and intended for everybody. Some people will heed the message from God while others ignore the call. Each of us can either follow Jesus or remain asleep in our broken relationship, trying vainly to find the peace that only comes from God.
