Gospel Reflections #692: Jesus went to the seek the sick

Jeremiah 17:14 "If you heal me, O Lord, I will be healed. If you save me, I will be saved. To Thee I will praise."

Sickness is the result of our environment and circumstances under the influence of sin, but God does not make it something we have to reap, but rather an opportunity to open the way to Him.

If we are physically and mentally healthy, we will not need healing.

But not being sick is not a good or valuable thing, and it is important to know who we are looking to for healing.

Jesus first went to the sick himself and healed them.

And when he was healed, there were those who left in amazement and joy, and those who returned to see the One who had healed them.

God never forces us.

He meets our needs before we obey Him and waits for us until we believe in Him and return to Him.

Ellen White has been told that 'it is gospel ministry to help people where they are, whatever their position or condition, as much as we can'.

What we can do is share the love we have received from God with those around us, not judge those around us.

We can love, forgive and pity those around us as much as God has loved, forgiven and pitied us.

When we do this, we will not be troubled by the fact that not everyone chooses to believe in God and be led to Him.

Because God's plan is perfect!
