Isaiah
53:5 "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised
for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes
we are healed. "
Sickness and suffering is not sent from God to make us grow. If
that were the case, we should all be praying for more sickness. If sickness and
suffering were God's method of teaching us, then why are there Christians who never get
sick? Is it that they have learned enough? No sickness is part of this
imperfect world we live in.
Why then is there sickness? Sickness comes for various reasons.
I purposely placed the devil at the end of the list. Simply because as Christians
we blame the devil for so many things that he simply is not responsible for. He may
have something to do with my overeating for instance, but because of the victory to be
found in Jesus, I do not have to be subject to the devils control.
Sickness and suffering is part of living in this world. But we do not have to be
subject to this world because Jesus paid the price on Calvary for our sin
and sickness. We can "Stand fast therefore in the liberty
wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of
bondage." Galatians 5:1
