Today, the laboratory arm of Homeland Security confirmed what many had been hoping for anecdotally (based on the flu) that heat and humidity hinder the spread of the virus and sunshine is the absolute best killer of it! God's UV rays are the secret weapon we've been looking for.
Then Jesus told them, "You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. Whoever walks in the dark does not know where they are going. Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of the light." When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and his from them." (John 12:35, 36)
"But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son purifies us from all sin." (1 John 1:7)
Thoughts: Jesus loved the sunshine. We see him on the lake numerous times- where there are no trees to shade from the sun. We see him looking on the open fields at the lilies and the birds on the Sermon on the Mount. When he climbed the Mount of Transfiguration it was probably a mountain with few trees on it (at least the alleged mountain today is more like a mesa).
He spoke about being the light of the world, and letting our light shine before others (Mt. 5:16) and that we are the light of the world- reflecting His light, as the moon the sun. in
1 John 1:7- it speaks of the purifying (disinfecting) qualities of sun light.
But in John 12- Jesus spoke of believing in the light so we could become children of light. As soon as He said this, Jesus retreated into isolation (hiding) from those who walked in darkness and were trying to kill Him. It is hard to think of the light of the world hiding. But Jesus hid in order to continue His ministry for awhile. Isolation is something that we may have to do to continue to do the Lord's work for the longer run.
Prayer: Lord, thank you that you are the light. Thank you that light kills covid19 and your light kills the sin within me.
