By Godwin Airuoyuwa | Greater Toronto Area (GTA) | April 4, 2020 | – Globally, more than 50,000 people have died from coronavirus, and the number is increasing by the minute. It was initially thought that only the elderly, and those with pre-existing or underlying conditions were the only victims of the virus, but it is now clear that, even the young and healthy, are also contracting the disease, some of them dying from it. There is a case of a six month baby dying from the disease in the US.

It really doesn’t matter whether you are old or young when you die, or whether you die from coronavirus or something else, we are all going to die someday. What matters is how we die. There are only but two ways in which we will all die; some will die and live, while others will die and perish. The truth is man was not created to die and perish; only the animals were created so. Unfortunately, many of us are going to go in the way of the animals. But it shouldn’t be so, at least for those of us still alive today, because of the ‘Good News’ available to us.

The Author of the Good News says, and I quote, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.” This statement was documented by Apostle John, a man described as the closet friend of Jesus Christ, the Author of the Good News. It is an eye-witness statement, and so, it is true.

I know that there are many of us who do not believe in Jesus Christ, for various reasons, and that is fine. But this is my advice; if you do not have any other offer of life, in whom or from whatever you believe now, it is better to err on the side of caution, and take this offer from Jesus Christ; no one deserves to die like an animal.
