the same, or not?

Those of you who know me, know that I’m always carrying 3 or 4 books in my bag.  Right now one of those books is called The Great Physician by G. Campbell Morgan.  I came across this paragraph this week:

“As to His universal recognitions we may say that He always approached the human soul in the same way.  As to varied methods, we may say that He never approached two human souls in the same way.  Such a paradoxical statement is of value, because it at once compels a little close attention.  Nevertheless its meaning is surely self-evident.  When our Lord approached a human being, there were great facts common to humanity, forever present to His mind; whereas it is equally true that the infinite variety of human needs was so recognized that He never employed the same exact method twice over.”

Oh what a great Saviour who serves us!  One who intimately knows the human experience and who intimately knows OUR experiences.  In what ways have you seen Christ approach your needs lately?
