Skepticism and Unbelief behind the Verse "Physician, Heal Thyself"
The words "Physician, heal thyself" from Luke 4:23, may bring memories of our own illnesses or troubles. Reading or hearing the words of Scripture from the book of Luke can remind us of the deep love God has for His creations. Have you recalled times of healing in your life or the life of a family member, friend or stranger? Are there times you remember when the healing was not on this earth, but in Heaven? Perhaps prayers have been shared for people or animals, asking for healing.
Do we ask for the healing of mind, body, and soul? Have we looked at the ways we have been healed mentally, physically, and spiritually already? We have not been healed by our own actions. We have been healed by the power of God. Healing is through His power, not ours.
‘Physician, heal thyself’ is a powerful statement. There is more to those words than a passing thought.
