A Coronavirus Wedding

[Steve Myers] There's no doubt that the coronavirus is highly contagious. It's infectious and the rate is really astounding, the way this virus is moving throughout the world. But as you may notice from the background behind me, I'm in my home, and a little bit later this afternoon, we're going to be having a very small wedding during this time of quarantine, very small. But it reminded me of the fact that although the coronavirus is highly contagious, there's something more that is even more infectious, and that is love.

Love can be highly contagious if we take the actions that we need to, even during these difficult times. Certainly, we have to take precautions against catching the virus as much as we can, but on the other hand, we need to do our best to spread love, to be able to spread the joy that we truly have because we understand the truth.

There's a beautiful passage in 1 John 4. In verse 7, it says, "Beloved, let us love one another for love is of God, and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God for God is love." And then John goes on, in verse 17, "Love has been perfected among us in this that we may have boldness in the day of judgment because as He is so are we in this world."

So we've been given a little bit of a command, you might say, to be infectious, to be contagious. So let's let our love of God, our love of the truth, our love for each other, let it spread and never be stopped.

That's BT Daily. We'll see you next time.
