Some Things Are Not To Be Joked About
Think of someone you really respect and love.
If that someone has passed away a few years ago, will you make Covid-19 jokes about the funeral, the people who came to the funeral, or anything that’s related to that person?
Personally, I won’t.
It’s equivalent to mockery.
And it’s disrespectful.
Certain things are not to be made a joke of. Surely not the death and sacrifice of Christ.
It is not about NOT having any sense of humour.
…
Truly sad and very disturbing (to me personally) to see how Covid-19 jokes are made about Someone who died for me and millions of others some 2000 years ago.
All soldiers were to wear facial masks.
All executioners have undergone PCR tests.
Go and watch the crucifixion LIVE at home to avoid getting infected by the virus.
…
What’s worse, jokes were also made by the very people who say they ‘believe and follow Him’, i.e. Subsequent jokes are made by many on social media, as a response to the said Twitter account. This is what puzzles (disturbs) me the most.
…
Sigh.
But then again, it was written,
“They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand. Then they knelt in front of him and mocked him. “Hail, king of the Jews!” they said. They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again. After they had mocked him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.
(Matthew 27:28-31)
…
The Man being mocked and joked around right now died, bled, and suffered to pay for the punishments you and I should’ve received.
May we all repent and be forgiven.
