Back in October, we learned that John Hagee, the senior pastor of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas, tested positive for COVID.

His son Matthew said at the time that his father was “receiving extremely good medical treatment.” He’s lucky he could afford it. That’s not necessarily true of the congregation he was putting in danger by hosting in-person, indoor, mask-optional, not-very-socially-distanced services.

When Hagee returned to church in November, no changes were made reflecting the seriousness of the virus. The pastor didn’t tell anyone to take it seriously, either. Instead, he told them to just trust Jesus.

Just trust Jesus and you won’t need a vaccine, he implied.

Interesting thing about that: Since Jesus has lost countless battles to the virus so far, given the horrifically high death toll, Hagee is now urging everyone to get the vaccine. Turns out God isn’t good enough.
