Indeed we are living in unprecedented times! It has been disturbing to see the images of the over worked essential care workers, single families fighting through daily battles of job loss and poverty and we dare not forget to mention the homeless population. Our Nation and our world is being shaken to its very core. As we can see this virus has affected every class of people on the planet without prejudice. Even though the virus itself has not shown discrimination or favoritism. Yet, what has become apparent is that some people are. And I write this as a way to express my frustration at a system that still has not resolved the issues of racism, classism in our country. How could this be happening now during this horrific pandemic era. Our prejudices towards different classes or races of peoples should not effect our decision to help people. We have to ask ourselves would Jesus discriminate? The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18), Jesus came to help hurting people.
In times of crisis we should band together in support of one another. For without that type of unity during a national crisis we could destroy each other way before a pandemic does. Scriptures say, “Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity
