Quarantining ourselves has been much harder on some of us than on others but most of us are cautious enough that we are willing to continue social distancing and keeping to our homes. We are motivated not just by fear that we might catch this virus but that others might catch it from us.
The Holy Spirit comes at Pentecost in wind and fire intending just the opposite. The Holy Wind makes us burn so fiercely with the love of God that we can't help but spread it to others. Ghandi said, "A lukewarm thing loses its heat when it touches something else; a burning thing sets fire to everything it touches." The Spirit sets us on fire with love like wildfire spreading till all the world's ablaze.
