Jesus told us that the greatest commandment is to love one another (Matthew 22:37-40). And in 1 John 4:16, we find perhaps the most simple and significant verse in the Bible,
"God is love."
To love is to care for others, to seek their best. The outbreak of COVID-19 offers us as Jesus-people to show compassion to the world in a profound way.
Instead of presenting my thoughts in a world replete with great articles, I'll just link this one in Christianity Today, "Should Your Church Stop Meeting to Slow COVID-19?"
"As part of our mission in this world, the church can be a strong agent to prevent sickness and protect the vulnerable. We are an integral part of our community, and many social contacts run through our church. If we can recognize the early signs of a local COVID-19 outbreak, we can lead in protecting those inside and outside our churches."
