Jesus 🪔🪔

And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need, not a physician; but are sick. I came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.

Amen 🪔🪔

Here Jesus compares the healing of physical disorders with the forgiving of sins. And all of his miracles of physical healing were meant to be pictures of spiritual healing. But only those who acknowledge their unrighteousness and need for repentance can partake of that miraculous healing of the fallen soul.

Let us remember, O Lord, that we are unrighteous in ourselves and daily need of repentance and forgiveness. Let us come to you as the "Great Physician of our soul" for the spiritual healing that only you can bestow. We cannot forge our path to spiritual wellness by man's psychological methods or sheer willpower but only by Your Spirit. Show us our weakness, we pray, and then show us your strength in making us strong. Amen.
