To All My Fellow Brothers and Sisters;
As I read and studied the Gospel of Luke, to study the man Paul called the "Beloved Physician". Luke was well educated, which could be noticed on how he writes.(if you are looking for it) If you compare all the other Gospels to Luke's you can see the Doctor and all his education. In the good Samaritan story you do see how Luke describes how Jesus' used wine for an antiseptic and oil for soothing purposes. I could list all the scriptures in all the accounts of the healing that Jesus did, but that would take up most of thread. I do have these scriptures to show some of the little differences and how Luke the physician describes them differently than the other Gospels.(Mathew 8:14, 8:2 Mark 1:30, 1:40, Luke 5:12 and 4:38)
The more I read Luke and studied I find that in Luke's accounts compared to the other Gospels that if he was not an eyewitness to any of the accounts he talks about, he talks in the third party. He always used words like: we, they, them...etc. Luke's accounts also provide abundant evidence that Jesus' was a man of prayer, and relied on his Heavenly Father and that he had no doubt Jesus was the Son of God.
In all the studying I did on Luke I found that Luke was very humble, self-sacrificing, he also didn't try to throw himself into the limelight. I also found that for Luke's times he could have made a good living being a physician, but decided to serve the glory of God.
I am not saying that all physician's who claim to be a christian should do what Luke did. The times are different and so are the circumstances. There is some very good doctor's of Faith and have that special touch that feels like they could heal anything. In my opinion those who have this special touch must be called also a
Beloved Physician. If anyone has more for me to learn or to enlighten me, please comment. I thought that Luke being the one Gospel that does get quoted alot but not really studied or the man being a physician. In all my studying I didn't find too much on the man himself.
With God's Love and Understanding,
Pam
P.S.
OUR "BELOVED"SHOULD BE ONE OF THE DOCTOR'S CALLED A "BELOVED PHYSICAN"
