Off the radar, dead to the world

 They do not vaccinate the dead. Believers in Christ have a new circumcision; not an outward physical circumcision, but an inner one which renders us dead to the worldly spirit of teaching. No longer at the mercy of the world’s teachings of vaccines and hand washings and “do not touch” and “do not cough”, we are dead, crucified with Christ, so these things do not stick to us. Nor do the world’s festivals and customs. Nor do spirits in nature give us commands or dictate our lives through horoscopes, tattoos and charms. We have died to it all forever. As the dead are off the radar for all this, so are we. Christ died and we died with Christ. We are now on God’s radar, visible and alive to each other and to God. (See also Colossians 2.)
