#69 PHYSICIAN

JESUS

#69 PHYSICIAN - "And He said to them, "No doubt you will quote this proverb to Me, "PHYSICIAN, heal yourself!  Whatever we heard was done at Capernaum, do here in your home town as well.'"  Luke 4:23

"And when the scribes of the Pharisees saw that He was eating with the sinners and tax-gatherers, they began saying to His disciples, "Why is He eating and drinking with tax-gatherers and sinners?"  And hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not those who are healthy who need a PHYSICIAN, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."  Mark 2:16-1

Full Definition of PHYSICIAN

 :  one educated, clinically experienced, and licensed to practice medicine

 Jesus, You are my PHYSICIAN!  A PHYSICIAN is skilled in the practice of medicine and healing.  I only go to a PHYSICIAN when I am in pain or hurting, or have come to the place that I know I cannot heal myself.  It is humbling to go - admitting that I need someone else's help and that I may have to wait in a waiting room, or be inconvenienced in some way. I would much rather figure out a way to heal myself!  People who are "righteous" believe they can "heal themselves".  They think they have it together on their own, they don't need a PHYSICIAN.    But sinners, those in pain and those who know they cannot make it on their own,  run to Jesus as their PHYSICIAN.  C. S. Lewis says "God whispers to us in our pleasures,...but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world."    In my life, I had to get to the "end of myself" before I ran to Jesus.    I had to humble myself  to go to Him.  I had to realize that I needed a Savior - a PHYSICIAN.    He was waiting for me - He is my PHYSICIAN.  This is why He came to earth - He is the only PHYSICIAN who can heal me for all eternity!  He wants me to run to Him daily, He doesn't want me to be "righteous" on my own.   Jesus, You are my PHYSICIAN - You are the One I run to.  I worship You and thank You for being the One I need - my PHYSICIAN! 

(Are you trying to be "righteous" on your own?  Run to Jesus and worship Him - your PHYSICIAN!)#100dayswithjesus
