Remember the old
saying, “Is there a doctor in the house”? It’s usually said by someone after
seeing another person become ill or in an accident. And, I’m sure we all can
agree, doctors rarely make house calls any longer.
But in many of our readings
in Scripture, Jesus is the doctor in the house and one who makes house calls. And
the most powerful doctor you’ll ever find.
The Gospels can be
full of surprises and in one particular Gospel it is a demon, possessing the
body of a man, who reveals who Jesus is to us and he says, “I know who you are,
you are the Holy One from God”. It is a demon who understands the almighty
power of Jesus. And our Lord responds with authority, “Quiet, come out of him.
The Doctor is at work, the healing is beginning, the man is saved.
We need to examine
how we personally look at Jesus and his power. The doctor of our soul. His
power can save our lives? His power can
heal us. With this power, we will feel
the love and the embrace of the one who forgives us. And with that forgiveness,
a new life begins.
Yes, evil is here in this world and uncleaned
spirits roam the earth. We are in the thick of a battle called spiritual
warfare, but we must believe that God is more powerful than any evil. And, it
is He, who has the power to heal any soul that calls out to him.
He thrives on house calls, so invite Jesus to make
your heart his home. Make Jesus your spiritual doctor.
