Should Christians Wear Masks?
If I Wear a Mask, Does that Mean I Don’t Trust God?
We read about this in Matthew 4:5-7. Satan takes Jesus to the top of the temple and says to him: “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you,’and ‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.’”
Jesus responded with a simple:
“Again, it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’” Matthew 4:7
When Satan suggests that, if Jesus is powerful enough and if he had enough faith in this Father, he would recklessly put himself in a dangerous situation, Jesus responds by showing that God does not want that.
God intends for us to use common sense and not to needlessly test Him:
“The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.” Proverbs 27:1
We don’t need to jump off buildings to prove ourselves. We can wear seat-belts and not worry about God being upset at us for not trusting Him.
And we can wear masks without offending God by using precautions.
