For those who are fairly regular church service attenders, it seems there is a bit of a controversy between those who wear masks and those who refuse. They seem to have missed this verse from the Gospel of Matthew:
4“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.5For I was shopping and you followed the arrows in the store aisles, I was standing in line and you maintained six feet of space, I was a stranger and you took a wide berth as we passed by each other in a common area, 6I needed hand sanitizer and you gave me a squirt, I was out of toilet paper and you spared a roll when there was not a square to spare, I was in public and you gave me an elbow bump rather than a hug or a handshake.'
7“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we do these things you have described?”8“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'
9“Then he will say to those not wearing masks, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.For you ignored all of the instructions from the CDC.
10“Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the mask wearers to eternal life.”

Looks like King Solomon was accurate in Ecclesiastes 1:9 "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun."
These are actual headlines from West Coast newspapers from 1919 during the influenza outbreak . . .




Matthew 25.The Masked and the Unmasked
1“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne.2All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a Walmart greeter separates the masked from the unmasked. 3He will put the masked on his right and the unmasked on his left.
4“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.5For I was shopping and you followed the arrows in the store aisles, I was standing in line and you maintained six feet of space, I was a stranger and you took a wide berth as we passed by each other in a common area, 6I needed hand sanitizer and you gave me a squirt, I was out of toilet paper and you spared a roll when there was not a square to spare, I was in public and you gave me an elbow bump rather than a hug or a handshake.'
