[REFLECTIONS] Business temporarily closed: Jesus, what now?

It's a first in world history: an online Holy Week for millions of people, even in Vatican City, due to the coronavirus pandemic. Rappler presents a series of reflections to help you, our reader, enter the spirit of Holy Week even in quarantine.March 13, a Friday, was one of my toughest days as an entrepreneur.

Worship Generation, our business, is a brand of Christian-themed merchandise available online and in malls across the country. One of the main advantages of being in this business is the overabundance of spiritual inspiration."With God, nothing is impossible," one of our shirts says. In my workstation is a framed artwork that says,"All I need is coffee and a whole lot of Jesus.

As early as now, there are so many manifestations of God's faithfulness: malls waived rental fees, suppliers agreed to temporarily suspend collection, utility companies extended payment dates, and banks allowed us to pay our loans on a later date. We are all looking for the anchor that will keep us strong in the face of fear in the days to come. The Christian faith suggests that what we are looking for can be found in and is Jesus – the God who conquered sin and death.
