    Reflection C.8 Does God Have A Purpose In Coronavirus? Summary Of New Testament So Far...

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jun 3, 2020
     | 1,593 views

    In the previous seven 'Reflections' I've looked at what the New Testament, excluding Revelation, says about 'End Times'. In this Reflection I try to draw the threads together and show how they are relevant to our question.

    Today is a milestone – the end of the second stage of my study. At the end of March, I decided to try to answer the question, ‘Could God be behind coronavirus?’ I knew that people were asking the question and it seemed like a good question. I decided to split the task into three parts. I would ...read more

    What a great gift the Transfiguration is for us, glorifying God in our second full week of Holy Lent!
