It's Time to Remove Our Masks
Ernest Easley
2 Corinthians 3.1-18; Exodus 34
There's been a lot talk in recent months about wearing masks. ''Masking Up'' has been encouraged in some places while being required in other places. Then there are those who have found a way to make a profit during this pandemic by creating ''specialty masks.''
Time doesn't allow me to describe all the specialty masks now available, but in addition to your favorite sports team mask for adults, children and babies, here are a few more:

''If you have to wear a mask, then wear a pretty one.''
Here's a few more you may find interesting: First communion mask with a filter, Baptism mask, wedding mask and a funeral mask. The only person at the funeral not required to wear a mask is laying in the coffin!
Pre-Covid, if you walked into a bank wearing a mask you'd get arrested. If you walk into a bank today not wearing a mask you get accosted. My, have things have changed. But what if I told you that wearing mask isn't anything new?
How many of you grew up watching that masked man: The Lone Ranger and his companion Tonto? Every episode began with the Lone Ranger on his horse Silver, rearing up on his hind legs with the Lone Ranger saying, ''Hi-yo Silver.'' And off they would ride to rescue someone in trouble!
And then there were the cape-crusaders: Batman and Robin. They too wore masks. Batgirl wore a mask. Captain Marvel wore a mask. Iron Man wore a mask. Wolverine wore a mask. Zoro wore a mask. Spiderman wore a mask! Darth Vader wore a mask! Even Hannibal Lecter wore a mask, kind of. There was even a movie entitled ''The Mask'' with Jim Carrey.
Now let me ask you a question: why all the masks? Why do you suppose they wore masks? What's the purpose in wearing a mask? To cover something up! Right? To cover up ...
