The Sick

Sorry I missed yesterday on the blog, I have been sick and still am. Since I am sick it got me thinking about the sicknesses that humans have. Everyone has been sick at one time or another, so we all know what it feels like. There are other sicknesses though and they are the ones that attack your very spirit. For some it is stress in their lives they stress so much not even realizing what they are doing. Then you often hear them complain about how they feel sick, tired, or over used. Not only does this affect your body but it harms your spirit. There is still yet another sickness; the one Jesus came to heal us from, the sickness of sin. Sin infects our lives and our souls and seeks out to destroy us.“Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”(Matthew 9:12-13)When Jesus spoke these words to the Pharisees at the time he was telling them why he chose to be with the sick, tax collectors, and those the Pharisees deemed unworthy. The very people Jesus surrounded himself with were people just like you and me. He knows how sin can infect us and he tells us that he can heal that sickness if we just come to Him. Is there something that you need to bring to Jesus to heal, do you have a sin that has been haunting you for so long that you have become sick. Jesus is waiting for you to bring your sickness to Him so that you may be healed.
