Sola Scriptura: The Surgeon’s Word
from Devotions with Pastor Stanton · host Stanton Petersen
Imagine walking into an emergency room with a shattered leg. You are in agony, barely able to stand. The doctor walks in, looks at your leg, smiles warmly, hands you a piece of candy, tells you that you look great, and sends you home. You wouldn't call that doctor loving; you'd call them guilty of malpractice! True love in a hospital often involves hard truths, revealing X-rays, the painful resetting of bones, and grueling physical therapy. In a similar way, we often go to the Bible, or Pastors looking for a quick piece of candy, a verse to just make us feel better in our broken state. But God is not a negligent doctor. He is the Great Physician, and His Word does not just coddle us; it heals us.
