Looking for relief?

 


I've been thinking about Jesus, the Great Healer. When we need to seek medical care, we go to our doctor or the hospital with an expectation that we will find relief.

Do we seek Jesus, who saves us, in the same way, with the same expectation?

We know (hopefully) that Jesus is the One who died so that we might have eternal life with God in heaven after our human life is done. It's not magic, but divine power that makes this possible.

If your doctor tells you what you need to get better, you will do your best (although maybe imperfectly) to do what he says, because you want to be healed.

Listen today, to those who follow Jesus, and hear what they are saying about the love of God, eternal life in heaven, and the sacrifice that makes it all possible.

Just like your doctor, who cannot force you to do what is good for you, God will not force you either, but it is a wise person who seeks relief in Jesus.
