1 Timothy 6:6 New English Translation

 

6 Now, godliness combined with contentment brings great profit.

 

To be content

 

Sickness is portrayed as a blessing by some who go through life

Jesus never said it was just an expression of the Father’s Love

He asks us to suffer, but not to be sick for Him

He asks us to follow Him and take up our cross.

 

Tribulation is plentiful in this fallen world.

But sickness is not tribulation, just an off-spring of the “Fall.”

Christ suffered on earth a lot but was not sick

For sickness reflects sin in our bodies after all

 

If Christ had not absorbed all the sin in the world

And let us say He had chosen to die after all

Then Salvation would not have been possible

For without sin, there is no death to call

 

And His body would have never decayed

He had perfection from way before the “Fall.”

But that was not God’s plan for fallen man.

In love, He prepares a Mansion for His own,” y’all.”
