The Vaccination Ethic.

In the midst of viral sickness, there is a vaccination ethic…

When God comes in all of God’s glory, God will sit upon the highest mountain. All the nations will be gathered below, and God will separate the people one from another. God will put the righteous on one side and the unrighteous on the other.

Then God will say to the righteous, “Come, you who are blessed with love; take your inheritance, for I have prepared a place for you since the creation of the world. For, I had nothing to eat and you fed me and gave me your vaccine. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink and gave me your vaccine. I was a stranger and you invited me in and gave me your vaccine. I was naked and you clothed me and gave me your vaccine. I was sick and you took care of me and gave me your vaccine. I was in prison and you visited me and gave me your vaccine.”

Then the righteous will answer, “God, when did we see you hungry and unvaccinated, thirsty and unvaccinated? When did we see you a stranger and unvaccinated or naked and unvaccinated? When did we see you sick and unvaccinated or in prison and unvaccinated?”

Then God will reply, “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for the unvaccinated least of these, you did for me.”

Then God will turn to the unrighteous and say, “Depart from me purveyors of selfishness… For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat and left me unvaccinated, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink and left me unvaccinated, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in and left me unvaccinated, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me and left me unvaccinated, I was sick and you did not care for me and left me unvaccinated, I was in prison and you did not visit me and left me unvaccinated.”

They also will answer, “God, when did we see you hungry and unvaccinated or thirsty and unvaccinated or a stranger and unvaccinated or needing clothes and unvaccinated or sick and unvaccinated or in prison and unvaccinated, and did not help you?”

God will reply, “Truly I tell you, whatever you didn’t do for the unvaccinated least of these, you didn’t do for me.”

God is waiting to be vaccinated.

How will we respond?

Amen.
