CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY DECEMBER 24, 2021
IT’S CHRISTMAS EVE. MANY OF US WILL BE ATTENDING CHURCH SERVICES WITH CANDLES AND
CAROLS AND POSSIBLY FOR AN HOUR PUTTING ASIDE THE GLOOM AND DOOM SURROUNDING THE
CORONAVIRUS.
WHILE THANKING GOD FOR SENDING HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO TAKE ON OUR SINS AS A
PERFECT AND ACCEPTABLE SACRIFICE, I THINK WE SHOULD ALSO BEGIN A CONCERT OF PRAYER AND
REPENTANCE AND ASK GOD TO REMOVE THIS SCOURGE FROM AMONG US.
HE HAS DONE IT BEFORE. THE OLD TESTAMENT HAS MANY INSTANCES WHERE GOD SUSPENDED
PLAGUES AND OTHER JUDGMENTS AGAINST THE ISRAELITES WHEN THEY DISOBEYED HIM. JESUS HEALED
LEPERS, THE BLIND AND THE LAME. HE EVEN RAISED LAZARUS FROM THE DEAD.
GENUINE REPENTANCE FOR OUR NATIONAL AND PERSONAL SINS WILL GET GOD’S ATTENTION.
POLITICIANS AND SCIENTISTS CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH. AND THEY HAVE NOT SUCCEEDED WITH ALL THEIR
BRAIN POWER AND MONEY IN CONQUIRING THE VIRUS. LET’S ASK GOD TOGETHER TO TAKE THIS VIRUS
AWAY FROM US THAT HE MAY BE GLORIFIED AND THAT WE MIGHT RESOLVE TO LIVE A DIFFERENT LIFE THAT
IS PLEASING TO HIM IN 2022. HAPPY CHRISTMAS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
