Matthew 4:24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
That’s the reason why He is referred to as The Great Physician, for every right practice, concept and all so called discoveries in medicine, have their origination in Him. This is the reason why when Jesus was on this earth, He could heal everyone of any disease, whether it’s a fever, malady, mental illness, or physical disability, he healed them all, for He not only created us, He is also the greatest and best Physician.
That’s why God asks the following question, even as He looks down from heaven and is concerned as the inhabitants of the earth turn to alternative ways and means in medicines and surgeries, as they too often leave Him out of the picture, as if He does not know what He is doing. When He introduced the concept of surgery, He did so to meet a necessity, and thus, He shows us that it is right and wise to have surgical procedures, where there is a need.
God has also blessed certain people with gifts and talents in the medical field, to be used in harmony with Biblical principles….[Christ’s Object Lessons pp 349] The skillful touch of the physician’s hand, his power over nerves, and muscles, his knowledge of the delicate organism of the body is the wisdom of divine power, to be used in behalf of the suffering. Thus, God approves of surgery, wherever it is for the benefit of humanity, and wherever it is employed to fill a valid need.
Jeremiah 8: 22 Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
