It's fall and turning winter, which means it's the season where everyone is sick. You can't go more than 30 seconds without hearing someone cough or sneeze, and our sensitvity to this is heightened since COVID. I was on a plane the other day and the guy on the other end of the row was coughing when I got on the plane and I spent the entire plane ride wondering if he was the superspreader that would get everyone on the plane sick. It's just that time of year -- we naturally try and avoid people and circumstances that might get us sick.
Jesus doesn't run from it, though. Jesus embraces us to heal us. He comes to us. The love of God is amazing -- when we are sinful and broken and desperate, he comes to us, in love and grace, to heal us. Jesus never turns from us, but turns to us, thanks be to God!
