Thought for the Day, from Rev. Jackson.
"The idea of sacrifice is one that does not get much air time these days. Generally speaking our society doesn’t like the thought of putting others before ourselves when it costs us something. And yet, in this extraordinary time there are many who are making sacrifices for fellow human beings, even strangers.
"Perhaps the most obvious examples of sacrifice that we can see around us today are the scores of doctors, nurses and other NHS workers who are putting themselves at risk on a daily basis to care for the sick. Some of those doctors and nurses have even paid the ultimate price and lost their lives. They are a remarkable group of people who are working incredibly long hours under huge pressure, with little thoughts for their own comfort and care. This is sacrifice.
"Of course they are not alone in making sacrifices. There are many other key workers who are having to make daily sacrifices to keep society running in the best way possible. I think we should be encouraged and challenged by their example to us, as well as being grateful of course. Perhaps it should challenge us to consider what sacrifices we might be willing to make. That could be something as simple as picking up some shopping for neighbour, or making a phone call to someone on their own in isolation. This week, on Good Friday, millions of Christians around the world remember the sacrifice that Jesus made. Whether or not we have faith, let’s use this week to consider the many sacrifices being made for us right now and also to remember that our sacrifices, even if small, can make a big difference." ...
