Greetings
My Friends
This
is a brief account of a person we will call Dr. Thomas. A fictional
name of course, but the basic story is real.
Dr.
Thomas was a heart surgeon. He started in practice in his early 30s.
He chose this profession because he had great love and compassion for
people who were hurting. In a short time, his fame grew.
He
was so good at what he did, that he had a hard time taking care of
all the people that came to him. It was said that he could work
miracles in surgery. Soon he became the best in the world.
In
spite of his fame, he cared for all that came to him. Prince or
pauper, it didn't matter to him. One day, he realized he needed help,
so he added and Associates to his letterhead.
He
found other doctors that he could train. They consulted with him, and
in spite of his busy schedule, he found time to mentor them. After a
good number of years, age was starting to catch up with him. Instead
of doing all of the surgeries himself, he assisted other doctors in
the surgery. He was always available when they needed him.
When
he got old, he wanted to continue helping people, but he knew he
would not live forever. He set up a system with his associates in
order to keep his work alive, and future patients getting the best
care. In order for these Associates to remain with his group, each of
them had to train other doctors, and they in turn more doctors, and
so on.
Does
this story sound familiar? This bit of creative license is used as an
example to explain about the greatest healer of all time, Jesus the
Christ, and His relationship with us.
Jesus
taught the apostles about love, forgiveness, healing, etc. He showed
them all things by His actions. He said he would never leave them or
forsake them. He taught them about His father, and gave them the Holy
Spirit as a helper. He told them to do as He did, and pass it on
through the faith. He arranged for anointed teachers, and the Bible,
all the way to us.
Just
as the apostles, we have Jesus the anointed one in us. Jesus still
wants to save and heal all who accept Him and come to Him. Everything
He is and has, He wants to pour out through us. We do not have to
pray for anointing to do His work. We have the Anointed One in us,
and He will work through us and the Holy Spirit.
Praise
the Lord, we have it all. Use it. The supply will never run out. He
can't wait to bless people, but He needs us to do it on this Earth.
We are His tool.
Remember
Jesus Loves You
Prayer
of Salvation
Lord
Jesus, I thank you for what you did on the cross for me. Your blood
washed away all my sins, by your stripes I was healed, your death and
resurrection brought me salvation. Please forgive all my sins, and
come into my heart as my personal Savior. Amen.
