It is time for my annual Medicare health assessment. My doctor will run some standard tests, ask me some questions, and check me out. If I am healthy, he will send me on my way. If not, he will design a treatment plan. When I have specific health issues I go to a specialist and they work to remedy my situation. So aside from my annual exam I only go to doctors when I have a specific health concern.
Luke 5:31-32 says, “And Jesus answered them, ‘Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.'” If we are to accept Jesus’s offer of salvation, we must first acknowledge our weaknesses and sins. Then we can come to Him as a sinner in need of a Savior. Like the patient in need of a health solution, we must come to Jesus as a person in need of a spiritual remedy.
