We should not make light of the effects of Ebola. It is a terrible illness and kills a high proportion of the people who get it, but sin is far worse.It affects 100% of the population. Ebola kills the body, but sin, if not dealt with takes away eternal life. There is a cure for sin but so few even try to find it. The cure is trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. Because He died on the cross all who trust in Him, without exception, are promised eternal life. The cure is permanent and there are no relapses.Don't go on enjoying the pleasure of sin for they lead to eternal death.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
