Chapter 10
CREATING GOOD
WORKS IN DANGER
ANSWER 5.
The coronavirus is God’s call to his people to
overcome self-pity and fear, and with courageous
joy, to do the good works of love that glorify God.
Jesus taught his followers to “let your light shine
before others, so that they may see your good works and give
glory to your Father who is in heaven” (Matt. 5:16). What
is often not noticed is that being the salt of the earth and
the light of the world in this way was the more salty and
the more bright because the good deeds were to be done
even in the midst of suffering.
