Easter Sunday 2021: The Promised Land

Where will our destination be after this Covid-19 pandemic? Will a promised land be waiting for us, just like God's command for the people's great exodus in ancient Egypt? Will our top leaders become like Moses, who will make a great sacrifice and lead its people safely away from threats and destruction? We must trust that our leaders, like Moses, will guide us to safety.

The hostility and uncertainty during this pandemic brought misery and deep suffering to modern life. The powerful and influential became more substantial, and the weak and poor became poorer.

That's our current reality. With billions of people suffering, we feel the oneness of humanity for a great plan of the massive exodus. This time is to end the pains and suffering of the pandemic that's killing us.

Moses, a figure of outstanding leadership in history, protected his people under his guidance, and they reached the promised land. Today, our leaders must emulate Moses's courage and wisdom and listen to the collective voice of their people to protect and fight for them against the unseen enemy.

The world's religions, with their teachings of compassion, unity, and service, can guide the decisions of our nation's government and leaders to save us and overcome this great challenge of our time. 

Our leaders should keep going even after the end. We may never know how long we will fight and remain steadfast, but one thing is sure: God speaks to the leaders of our land amidst the noise and chaos.

As we face the greatest challenge of our time, we must remember that God is testing our faith. Our leaders will guide us through this trial if they listen to God's voice and accept the crosses entrusted to them. We all have our crosses to bear, but with unwavering faith, we can overcome. 

We will find ourselves in a promised land when we finally emerge from this pandemic. Having weathered this storm, our nation and leaders will have grown wiser and more resilient. We will become great believers and enrich our lives in ways we cannot yet imagine.
