How should we deal with the sick?

[Fish14]

(I don't know if this thread should be here or in the theology section.)

Jesus spent time with people with leper and other diseases and it seems he accused others of rejecting them. But unlike Jesus, we can get infected with those diseases, so what should we do with the sick?

 

[Brotherly Spirit]

Depends on your circumstances and what you're willing to risk. Some people work in the service of health has doctors and nurses at hospitals, while others could volunteer to help non-medically there to ease the load. Also people work and volunteer in the poorest, sickest and dangerous places in the world to help. Those who don't have the time or anyway to directly help could donate money and give supplies; even pray privately and talk openly about the needs of the sick. Whatever it is you can do and willing to give is what can be done.

 

[S.O.J.I.A.]

you should help them get well while taking whatever precautions are necessary for you not to be infected.

Have them get the rest they need, the food they need, and get them out of the cold. Keep them away from tobacco.
