The Physician Still Speaks

December 31

(Luke 1:31-33 NIV) "You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. {32} He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, {33} and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.""

(Daniel 7:13-14 NIV) "In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. {14} He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed."

(Psalms 119:89 NIV) "Your word, O Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens."

(Isaiah 26:4 NIV) "Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal."

Luke was a physician -- a healer. He came to know Christ and then spoke about it by writing the gospel that we have been immersed in for a year. The physician has spoken. Will you? Will you share the truth of Jesus with someone in the year to come? The Jesus that Luke spoke of is also a physician -- the Great Physician. He is our Healer, our Savior, and our Lord. He is the King of kings, and will reign on the throne of Heaven forever. His kingdom has no end. His dominion is everlasting. He was born the Lord, He died as Lord, and He lives as Lord. At some point in time, every knee will bow before His glory and power. Jesus Christ is eternal and His word is eternal. The Great Physician is still speaking. He is calling to His creation. He is calling you. Will you hear Him? Will you come and follow Him? Will you be His disciple? -- Friar Tuck’s Word of the Day
