I read that in Italy and elderly Catholic priest gave up his ventilator to a younger man willingly, the later died. James 15:13 “ Greater love has no man but this: that he lay down his life for his friend”
I don’t quote the Bible much, but this came immediately to mind when I heard the story.
No greater love. It occurs to me then that Jesus laid down his life for ALL others. No greater love….
Who knows what each of us will be called upon to do in the coming months. We should think of the love being exhibited by those who are serving their fellow man by trying to save their lives. By those who toil to keep food and medicine in stores. By those who obey the health rules so that they don’t become disease spreaders. All of these are acts of love.
And while these people do this out of love and a sense of duty, when the time is right these people should be rewarded by a grateful country. No greater love….
There’s a long way to go, and there will be many who’s norms will be severely tested before this is all over.
