In Brazil, the medical field works much as it does here – if you have insurance, you don’t pay at the clinic you visit. You can receive the treatment you require, sometimes in emergencies, or at your leisure.
This works because that company gave you a special number. With your number came a promise to cover your expensive-ness.
Alaina and I watched Patch Adams the other day, and the character’s defense of medicine as ‘improving the quality of life,’ instead of just delaying death, gave me pause.
In America, we use the term “policy” to describe health insurance; Brazilians use the term “covenant”.
Covenants are essential to salvation. However, covenants are important to those who make them their priority. What was important to Jesus Christ during His ministry is meticulously recorded for our benefit.
He promised Heavenly Father to atone for the misdeeds for which we earnestly repent; He promised a divine, perfect love for these imperfect children’s divinely seen potential.
Jesus remembers us as we were, as we promised and covenanted to hopefully become before we came to Earth.
Have you ever thought of what your testimony of Christ was before you came to Earth? Why did you believe He would keep His promise to you?
Don’t live beneath your privilege of being Heavenly Father’s son or daughter; brothers and sisters of the Christ, the Master, and your Friend.
He continues in life to this day; He lives the same promise He made, and kept. Let's try our best to make Him as important as He treats us. :) ~Justin
