Preaching Goes Viral

Is the Pandemic a Sign of the End of the World? Part One

Silver lining: Blessed, grateful, or upbeat about the pandemic

1. Matthew 24:4-8 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. 2. Come & Gone. Throughout the history of the world, false messiahs have come and gone. Wars have come and gone. Famines have come and gone. Earthquakes have come and gone. Pandemics have and come and gone. Jesus doesn’t call them signs, he calls them birth pangs. When you see these things, Jesus says “not yet! This is not the end!” He goes on and speaks not only about what the world will see come and go, but also what Christians will see
