HEAL - God's Heart for Healing in LukeBài mẫu

The Doctor Is In The House After Levi, a.k.a. Matthew, had his encounter with Jesus, he wanted to introduce as many friends as he could to Jesus as well. So he threw a party and many of his “tax collector” buddies came. Despite the tax collectors being considered low-class thieves who were despised by most, Jesus joined their party and even sat to share a meal with them. Take note that Jesus has never, and never will, discriminate against anyone! He consistently, over and over, teaches us how to love everybody just as they are. Then when we share Him with them, He will handle the rest. Look at what the “religious folk” thought about Jesus spending time with the tax collectors. Their response lets us know for certain that they had no clue who Jesus really was! Even though the Scripture says the Pharisees’ question/complaint was directed at the disciples, Jesus gave His own reply, and what a fantastic reply it was! Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” He referred to Himself as a doctor for sick people. He linked their spiritual condition to their physical health, sickness versus health.  Many times in the scriptures (yesterday, for example) Jesus seemed most concerned about the spiritual condition of those He met. He would forgive their sins followed by healing their bodies. QUESTIONS: 1. Could the overwhelming power of the forgiveness of their sins cause their bodies to heal? 2. Is one more important than the other ---- health in our spirit or health in our body? 3. Regardless of the condition of my physical body, am I healthy in my spirit?
