Thank you to Penny from England who sent through this most insightful comment.

Dear Chugley, I have just been sent this with permission to pass it on. It was written by Chris Biddle, a resident here in Launceston, Devon, England. He read it before sharing the Communion – staggeringly brilliant. God bless you!

A pandemic is a disease that is prevalent over the whole of a country or all over the world.

When God created the world it was perfect and good, but evil came into the world bringing with it a pandemic wave of lies, faithlessness and sin.
God realised the only solution was to create a vaccine to counteract the spread of the problem. After much heart searching, he finally arrived at the solution, available under 4 names, Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace.
As Christians, we recognise this collectively as Jesus the Messiah.
This vaccine was birthed at Bethlehem in Israel and perfected on the cross of Calvary and is freely available to us.

We do not need to go online or consult our GP, we simply need to ask for it and we will receive.

We do need to recognise Jesus as the Son of God and accept that He rose from the dead and our vaccine cover begins.
There are however some side effects, we need to be aware of that effect, 100% of all of those who have received the vaccine.

When you experience any of the following, love, joy, peace, patience, tenderness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control, do not worry, they are to be expected and are long lasting, they are life enhancing , not threatening. And yes, you will become a carrier that could pass on theses side effects to others but, this is all in Gods plan. He was the first to recognise that Jesus, our only perfect vaccine, must be available to the whole world if it is to be fully successful and the pandemic fully overcome. Our advice to you is, don’t mask this wonderful opportunity, do your utmost to pass it on in your family, local community and the world at large.
Remember, we have a God that never socially distances Himself from believers, He loves to hug us. The bread and wine we share today, is His way of providing regular boosters for us and we can take it as often as possible.

And finally, don’t worry about a vaccine passport to His big event in Heaven,

from the moment you accepted your first jab of Jesus, God Himself, wrote your name into the Book of Life and nobody can erase it. He knows you and will call you by name. Yes, there will be more “waves” of the faithless pandemic that will last throughout our lives and indeed until Jesus returns, so we have to be on our guard but not living in fear.

When He returns, he will say to the waves, peace, be still, and life as God intended it to be will be returned to normal as we and all believers are swept up into the clouds to take our place with Him in glory.
So let’s all share together now, our booster gift from Jesus as we eat together, remembering His body broken for us and His blood shed for us for the forgiveness of our sins.
Father God, thank you for the gift of Jesus who enables us to live a life of love. Thank you that He the innocent one, willingly sacrificed Himself so that we, the guilty ones, may go free.
Take us forward Father, fill us with your Holy Spirit and help us share the Word of Jesus, the only true vaccine for a faith filled life, with all those we meet in the weeks ahead. Amen

Chugley
