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.
And what a gift he has given us, the Holy Spirit. It
is the gifts of the Holy Spirit that help us to see and understand the evil
that has penetrated our American society. It is those gifts that help us see
through the many false teachings of the Church by people with an agenda
Call on the true doctor. He thrives on house calls,
so invite Jesus to make your heart his home. Make Jesus your spiritual doctor.
