Among so many things that are discussed about the great sofa of social media is the question of religion, is it fundamental or not?In the face of this, I am making it clear that religion is essential, but in times of pandemic, crowding of people is not. There will be a time, God willing, when we will see thousands of people confessing Jesus Christ as Lord, collectively worshipping with heart and soul.
That said, I want to highlight another angle on the essential character of faith. Look at the science. The method depends on observation and observation. But, the Corona virus (Covid-19) is new. There is no observation ballast and temporal distance that favors the empirical method. Scientists repeat the following liturgy in the news: “We don’t know everything!We hope this or that drug works! Well, you might put it another way: “We are convinced that treatment with this or that medicine helps cure!”We expect an effective vaccine to emerge! The question is not whether faith and science can go hand in hand. The thing is, there’s something about the human being pushing him up. The meaning of religion is projected towards faith and hope that transcend the closed world from cause to effect.
- Religion is fundamental.
- I say more: the gospel of Jesus Christ is invincible!The world is in confusion.
- You see it every day.
- Idols fall on everyone.
- Thousands of people are at home fearing death.
- Hunger and social chaos.
- Uncertainty is the word of the moment.
- Look at the point: until then.
- Nihilistic philosophers said the best way to deal with the world was uncertainty.
- Existentialists say that you live more and better when you understand existence as a “being for death.
- “Where are they now? They retired because no one can bear to embrace death.
- We want more of the best! A strange hope burns in us.
- We were made for God.
- And as St Augustine rightly said.
- “our soul only finds rest when it rests in you”.
When all this is over, I hope you will be more open to hearing the scripting narrative. Humanity will not be destroyed because God has made promises and since Noah our race has survived. Not because of the natural selection we survived. We are alive because God has a word and His mercy is renewed every morning. Governments are now in crisis because they don’t know what’s worse: “Everything shuts down and breaks the economy or saves the economy and accepts that there are dead and wounded in a war. “What a tough logic!
However, look at the cross! Look at the gospel of the Crucified One, Jesus Christ endured God’s wrath out of love for sinners, it is the narrative that sustains sinners!Love and justice perfectly manifested Dios. Ni the State and science cannot give what only the gospel can communicate: forgiveness of sins, peace in death, and hope of eternal life.
The world needs virtues. No one supports this world of post-truth. You know the reason? I say with metaphysical certainty: you were made for God. Now open your heart to what Jesus said:
Everything was given to me by my Father, no one knows the Son but the Father; and no one knows the Father but the Son and the one to whom the Son wants to reveal it; come unto me all ye that are tired and overwhelmed, and I will relieve you; bring my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your soul, for my yoke is soft and light my burden (Mt 11:27-30 ARA)
Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life; What comes to me will never be hungry; and the one who believes in me will never thirst. But I’ve already told you that even though you’ve seen me, you don’t believe. All that the Father gives me will come to me; And whatever comes to me, I will not reject it under any circumstances; for I came down from heaven, not to do my will, but the will of the one who sent me; and the will of the one who sent me is this: that I do not lose any of those who have given me; on the contrary, I will resurrect him on the last day (John 6:35-39 ARA).
Then Martha said unto Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died; but I also know that even now, whatever you ask of God, God will grant it to you. Once again. I know, Martha replied, who will be resurrected on the last day. Jesus said unto him, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, even if he dies, shall live; and everyone who lives and believes in me will not die forever. Do you believe that?” Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believed that you are the Christ, the Son of God who must come into the world” (John 11:21-27 ARA).
Turn to Christ! Transcend post-truth! Put all your faith and trust in Jesus Christ, He endured justice out of love! He died in our place so we could have life! He made bread to feed us! He took the weight of sin to heal our hearts! We are beings of religion, and we will only find peace when we rest in Christ!
