I think a lot of us don't know what to believe when it comes to COVID-19
so many differing opinions on how to handle it!
After listening to
THIS I don't know what to think!!!
...so I turn back to this;
the words Jesus prayed in the garden
The Truth raises Love’s scepter like an unshakeable rod
It parts the murky waters with the faultless Word of God
The Truth ignites Hope’s Beacon like a stream of Light
unfurled
It rends the dark with mercy because God so loved the World
The Truth secures Faith’s buckle on a belt that girds the
soul
And holds us up when trouble would let fear gain full
control
The Truth saves us from death and hell; it triumphs o’er
the grave
From Calvary it flowed and fell in pow’r mighty to save
The Truth will never lead astray; its compass sound and
sure
It guides us with a steadfast ray and judgment just and
pure
Ah, what is truth the people cry whose ears/hearts have
not yet ‘heard’
The Truth WAS, IS, FORVERMORE, God’s everlasting Word

For those who are asking 'How may I be saved/born again.'
Jesus explains. (his words are written in red)
Long ago a member of the Jewish ruling council, named Nicodemus
asked the same question.
We often hear the verse John 3:16 in this chapter but not always
the setting where it was spoken to a seeker of truth
Here is the way to Jesus who said
"I am the Way, The Truth and the Life".
John 14:6
Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus
who was a member of the Jewish ruling council.
2 He came to Jesus at night and said,
“Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God.
For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.”
3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God
unless they are born again.”
4 “How
can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked.
“Surely they
cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”
5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God
unless they are born of water and the Spirit.
6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.
7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’
8 The
wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound,
but you cannot tell
where it comes from or where it is going.
So it is with everyone born
of the Spirit.”
9 “How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.
10 “You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and do you not understand these things?
11 Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen,
but still you people do not accept our testimony.
12 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe;
how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?
13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man. 14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,
15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
but to save the world through him.
18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world,
but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light
for fear that their deeds will be exposed.
21 But
whoever lives by the truth comes into the light,
so that it may be seen
plainly that what they have done
has been done in the sight of God.
