Devotion for Monday, June 30, 2014 Our Great Physician When Jesus heard it, He said to them, Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance. — Mark 2:17 Its worth noting that every person Jesus had conversations or contact with was in a different situation, and He dealt with each one differently. This is because He recognized that even though we all share many of the same problems and basic needs, every man, woman, and child is a unique individual, with unique needs. In His encounters with people, Jesus was like a physician. He basically said, I want to let you know that I didnt come to bring the righteous to repentance, but I came to bring sinners because those who are whole dont need a physician. I think the hard thing about being a doctor must be seeing people, for the most part, only when they are sick! They usually dont have their patients stop by and say, Hey, Doc, Im feeling good, and I just wanted to tell you that. Want to go to lunch? You dont usually call your doctor when youre feeling at the top of your game. You call when you are feeling sick, and your doctor will have you come in to his or her office, examine you, and apply the specific remedy to the area of need. Jesus is the Great Physician. He came to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, give sight to the blind, and freedom to the oppressed. He already has determined your precise areas of need, whatever they may be, and He will minister to you as an individual. =Laurie.
