Are You Contagious?

As I settled in for my flight, a man took the middle seat beside me. He was coughing the familiar Covid cough! I put my mask on. As we buckled in, he leaned over and said he wasn’t contagious, his cough just hadn’t gone away. I commiserated but kept my mask on. Who knows if he were telling me the truth. I was wary of Covid and of flu infections in the closed-in space anyway. The only one I want to be infected by is Jesus. Yes, Jesus is contagious! The closer our relationship with him, the more we will be like him. And, then we will be contagious as well! Let’s be contagious like Jesus!
