Oftentimes, we would run into such response – “I don’t care”, when we ask our youngster’ opinion. This could happen when we stop by either fast food restaurant for lunch or shop for clothes for him. Sometimes I was wondering is he really has no preference or he really doesn’t care because what we have provided is good enough for him. This lets me think of a recent event.
The glitches in federal Affordable Care Act dubbed Obamacare website, which is supposed to provide general public a “better” healthcare insurance plan, draw numerous complaints and criticisms. The complaints and criticisms are mainly from three areas. One is: the experiences of “unfriendly and often unavailable” access from users. Two is: some 12 million Americans whose individual policies don’t meet Obamacare requirements for more comprehensive care were cancelled. The last is the Obamacare plan itself does not provide a better choice, economically, for those who already have an insurance plan. As a result, the President Obama has to offer an apology to the public.
As we all know that it is imperative to have a good healthcare plan for our family nowadays. However, at the same time, we also feel the burden of hefty insurance premium. I think these may be the reason why Obamacare was proposed originally in order to confront these issues. Nevertheless, we saw many problems surfaced when rubber meets the road. Apparently, the care plan is not perfect for everyone even its original intent was good. So, the question is “Who really cares about you and therefore, can provide a perfect plan for you?”
Truth is when we are searching for a healthcare plan in this world, we always end up a compromise – trade lower cost with lower coverage. Sometimes we even give up plan for medical coverage because we can’t afford it. So, is there a perfect plan that could offer everyone to his full satisfaction? Yes, there is a “perfect plan” that was already devised for us and everyone is affordable. That is God’s plan – the salvation plan carried out by His son, Jesus Christ! When we subscribe to this plan, we don’t need to pay the premium because Jesus has paid it in full for us. In addition, we will receive a resurrection body that is free from death and pain (Revelations 21:4). Isn’t this a wonderful plan? I am sure it is!
Now you may ask, “How can I subscribe to God’s plan?” The first step is we need to acknowledge that we have problems – we are sick. Jesus told us that “it is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 康健的人用不著醫生、有病的人纔用得著. (Matthew 9:12)” Apostle Paul also indicated to us that “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God 因為世人都犯了罪，虧缺了神的榮耀 (Romans 3:23)” As a result, we can’t approach God as a sinner and the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). This is the reason God sent His only begotten Son Jesus to pay the price for our sins. The second step is therefore, we need to receive Jesus Christ into our heart, personally. The process of subscription is then complete with an acknowledgement, “The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children聖靈與我們的心同證我們是神的兒女 (Romans 8:16)”
My dear friends, are you still searching for a perfect healthcare plan and thinking who really cares about you? Then, search no more! It is God’s devised plan! He really cares about you and He provides you a plan which you can be free from death and pain. It is my prayer that you find the perfect plan!
