"I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him" - With the Faith like Immunity and Vaccine

With the Faith like Immunity and Vaccine

If you are the only Jewish man in a Christian country, you might be afraid of being attacked by Christians around you, since you do not admit that Christ Jesus is the God.  But if you are the only Christian man in a Jewish country, you might be afraid of being attacked by Jewish people, since you believe that Christ Jesus is the God, which Jewish people deny.   

If you are the only white man in a black country, you might be afraid of being attacked by black people; if your are the only black man in a white country, you might be afraid of being attacked by white people.

If you are the only Chinese man in the U.S., you might be afraid of being attacked by Americans; if you are the only American man in China, you might be afraid of being attacked by Chinese.

Indeed, being only one person with a specific feature in an environment where no others share the same specific feature is dangerous even in terms of religion, race, and nationality.

However, how dangerous you are, if you are the only follower of the God, in an environment where all the others are followers of Satan.  In this context, the words of Christ Jesus should be understood:

"Luke 10: 3: Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves."

When wolves, namely followers of Satan find a lamb, that is, a follower of the God, they would attack and kill the lamb.  And, indeed, Christ Jesus was killed, though only for three days, by followers of Satan, in the shapes of Jewish and Roman authority 2000 years ago.

So, Christ Jesus knew how dangerous it was for a follower of the God to live in a society where all the citizens are only followers of Satan.  And, if there is no possibility that any followers of Satan in a city would repent and leave Satan, the God should immediately send a multitude of Angels of Death to the society to destroy it.

But the fact that Christ Jesus sent his followers to this world meant that there was a possibility that some followers of Satan would repent and leave Satan when they heard words of the God or Christ Jesus.  

If you are the only healthy person in corona-virus contaminated country, you might be afraid of being attacked by corona-viruses possessed by others.  And, if you are the only God believing person in a country controlled by Satan, you might be afraid of being attacked by other followers of Satan.  

Now, 2000 years after Christ Jesus, in democratic countries based on teachings of Christ Jesus, you can live in peace and safety, if you have a different religion, different color of skins, and different nationality.  You might not be afraid even of being attacked corona-viruses, since vaccination and other medical measures should be there widely provided.

But, wherever you may go in this world on the earth, an overwhelming majority of people around you might be followers or quasi-followers of Satan, while true followers of the God or Christ Jesus must be less that 10%.  So, we have to still remember the words of Christ Jesus: wolves are everywhere while you are lambs.  But, there are other encouraging words in the Bible: whoever upset you will be punished by the God.        

Finally, we have to go and live in the world where Satan has still an influence, following Christ Jesus, with the faith like immunity and vaccine.

John 3, King James Version
26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
