The Covid-19 virus has led to crises on many levels. Not only is the pandemic a serious medical issue, but also a huge challenge on many other levels. Economically, politically, socially, religiously and ethically, the pandemic is changing all previously held ideas and understanding. At present, the whole world is struggling to find a solution on these levels. It is useful to ask theological questions regarding the pandemic. Opinions differ concerning the theological implications of the pandemic. Some regard the virus as an evolutionary development, while others view it in the light of God’s wrath against sin. It can also be regarded as a sign of the second coming of Christ as we speed up towards the end times. Christ’s death on the cross, his resurrection and his salvation for humankind must also be emphasised. One should consider sin and God’s wrath against it as well as the call to conversion, but the glorious redemption in Jesus Christ is considered to be the final answer for humanity.
