Jesus Has Me Covered, But I Still Wear a Mask

While the world looks for a vaccine and treatments for the current pandemic, some of us are using masks and social distancing to stay safe, but these are really just band-aids which may buy us a little more time while researchers look for solutions to our problem. Of course humanity has a lot more problems, most of which will not be cured by vaccines or medications. Man does not live by medications alone. In order to live well we must have faith in something greater than ourselves. 

For me, faith in Jesus as my Lord and savior is more than just a band-aid used to get over the cuts and scrapes of daily existence, and Jesus is not a patch which gets peeled off and discarded after I feel better.  

Christians should fear neither nothing in this life, nor should we fear our inevitable death, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be rooting for the researchers who are seeking vaccines and cures for the corona virus, and just because we live in Faith, that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to protect ourselves and others by masking up and keeping our distance.
