The COVID-19
pandemic has pitted believers against one other. One person is obedient to the
medical profession’s call for social-distancing; while another person insists,
we should not fear corporate worship, but rather have faith the Lord will
protect us from the virus. I’m reminded of the Temptation of Jesus in the
desert, “Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the
highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he
said, “throw yourself down. For it is written: “‘He will command his angels concerning
you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your
foot against a stone.’” Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not
put the Lord your God to the test.’” (Matt 4:5-7 NIV).
