On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.                                                                                                 Matthew 9.12

The teachings of Jesus are very essential, because they reveal simple things, but of great importance. He created the laws of nature and all other things, so there is no one like Him (Isaiah 40.12-18). What is difficult for us is easy for the Lord; after all, having created everything from nothing, the Most High knows what is necessary to solve problems the very moment they arise.

To sit at the table with publicans and transgressors is compared to the work of a doctor. We should act as one of these professionals, taking care of those excluded by sin and society, who feel abandoned. Because He stayed in the same environment as sinners, Jesus was criticized by the Pharisees, who simply asked why He ate with those who were discriminated by these fanatics. Believe: in the presence of Truth, foolishness is silenced!

When someone feels despised, he can be afflicted by a demon and be used to carry out the devil’s worst missions. Human beings cannot tolerate contempt which leads the weak-minded to allow themselves to be led by the enemy. We need to give attention to everyone; this way we will prevent Hell from destroying so many lives. We are doctors of the soul, and we cannot refuse to help those who have been sent to us. Be a zealous servant!

Jesus said that we are the salt of the earth, that we don’t let rottenness operate in a matter: “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot (Matthew 5.13). Therefore, where sin operates, people live oppressed, desperate, without ground and unable to resist the forces of darkness. Be someone of value, taking the seed of life to the suffering and abandoned hearts. This pleases God!

To be in church at all times to hear the Word of God, paying attention to the message preached in the services that announce the Truth, is a correct and beneficial attitude. Whoever does not instruct himself in the Word and in prayer will hardly do anything good for others. Those who love the Lord fulfill the commandments perfectly, because they prepare themselves to act in the Name of the Lord with the ability granted by Him. He who does not do good sins!

The sick of the world-whether in the physical or spiritual area – need to be treated with real faith in Christ. If we do nothing for the sake of these lives, we will be responsible for their loss. The Christian must never give in to the desire to become rich or famous, but must keep his focus on being a servant of Jesus. Whoever thinks otherwise is not in Christ, nor is Christ in him. Adjust yourself to the Word so that you will not be disappointed at the Lord’s return.

In order for the disciples to learn how to heal the sick and free the suffering, the Master went everywhere doing good. Those who have the love of God only think about freeing the captives from the devil’s hands. Many commit suicide; others go to prostitution, crime, and other wrong ways. Be a representative of Jesus!

In Christ, with love,
