Let’s have a biology lesson.
When you get a virus, say a cold or the chicken pox, you feel sick and terrible.
Yet something is happening inside your body.
In the midst of the pain is the scene of a battle. Your body is fighting the disease, and it will win. And when you win, you get something called immunity.
Immunity is a store of antibodies on guard for the rest of your life against that particular virus.
Do you know the greatest purpose for immunity?
Helping the sick.
When you’ve had the chicken pox, you become the one who can help the person who just got it. You’ll come in contact with the virus without fear, because your body is immune. What was a curse becomes a blessing, and this time for many, many people.
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
