Christians need to be mindful of what the Government compels us to do. This may come as a surprise but the New Testament never endorses government or government officials as sacred or holy. In fact, the underlying theme of the Book of Revelation is to not put your faith/trust in governments, they will rise and fall on their own sinful nature for greed and power. Christians should be skeptical of all government compulsions, especially one that calls for your injecting anything into your body. Remember, your body is a holy temple (1 Corinthians 6:19).
Where were you during the pandemic? Where was your faith? Did you cower to the oppression or stand firm in the faith: “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love” (1 Corinthians 16:13-14 NIV)? Oppression is coming for the faithful, in many cases it is already here. Where are you in your journey with Christ and is it strong enough to act sacrificially in the face of oppression and condemnation?
The above story is heart-wrenching and lesson-forming. The government is not your God, politics is not sacred, and politicians are not to be worshiped. Be wary of what the body politics compels you to do.
