Kara wrote this for a school assignment. It's beautiful! She discovered that corona means crown in Latin and her assignment was about how Christians should think about the coronavirus and how we can encourage others who are struggling with anxiety and fear.
For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” (Romans 8:15)
After reading Romans 8:15, I am encouraged once again that I have no reason to fear! We have received the Spirit by whom we cry, “Daddy!” God is our heavenly father, and he knows what is going on. He is sovereign, even over coronavirus. He hears us when we cry for help. When I begin to fear again about the coronavirus, I can remember Jesus’ “corona” of thorns. Jesus suffered greater tribulation than we will ever face. Even if we do get the corona of death, in heaven Jesus will give us the “corona” of life! We know that we will see King Jesus face-to-face, and he will have a “corona” on his head.
Kara, thank you for sharing your assignment with us! This is very encouraging. I’m so thankful that our Heavenly Father is sovereign over everything!
