Lingering illness

 Matthew 4:23    New English Translation

Jesus’ Healing Ministry

23 Jesus went throughout all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and sickness among the people.

 

Do not many infirmities come from a corrupted body?

The flesh we understand is such deep to the core.

Reflections of health are not necessarily an example

Of what is considered” holiness,” standing at the Cross

 

Is prolonged illness than in the will of God?

Does God chasten this way to form us into perfection?

“To be a living epistle,” would this work that way?

“Can a body be wracked with pain” and be a Holy reflection?

 

In hospitals and nursing homes, is there where angels labor?

Is it not an actual reality that God wants to heal us?

Think about The Lord Jesus Who healed many more in the body

More than He drew spiritually for suffering and pain. He dealt with

 

He remembers a time still possible when sickness and pain are gone

Where grief and sorrow have no place in the Eternal destination

He prepared a place for all who came to trust Him for Salvation

He paid the price in full for all who are set aside  for His regeneration
