Virtually


Bible study met today. Virtually. Thanks to one member who was tech savvy enough to get us onto a platform where we could see and hear each other, read the Bible together and share some thoughts and prayers.

It took someone to set up the meeting, and then she invited participants. When she opened the meeting, those of us invited were connected.

Jesus invites each of us to join him. We don’t need to be tech savvy. We just need to take time to sit with him and accept his invitation, and welcome him into our hearts, into our lives. He is always there. We don’t have to wait for him to open the meeting.

He invites us individually, and he invites us corporately. Very grateful for the technology to continue to worship as church because of technological innovations. Very aware of those who are struggling to survive today, in displaced persons’ camps all round the globe, where the challenges were huge before Corvid appeared. Now they are overwhelming.

Bible study looked at Jesus’ words in Mark. ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. Love your neighbour as yourself.’ How can I obey these commands today, self-isolated as I am?
