Scripture: John 14-17
Reflections: Saying hello and goodbye to everyday people is a simple way to say I care. It warms my heart. Then COVID-19 came to our part of town. Right now, saying goodbye is a bit heart-wrenching. What if my everyday people get sick? No wonder Jesus says so many comforting words to His disciples. Soaking in John 14-17 is good for the soul of everyday people.
15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. 17 Sanctify them by[j] the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. 19 For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified. ~John 17:15-19
