Are we to handle sickness or pain any differently as people
of faith, as Becomers?
Yes, we will still hurt like others. Yes, we may not
avoid the trials of pain in this world. Yes, we will ache like everyone else.
But wait!
Jesus said in Mt. 8:17 he has fulfilled Isaiah 53:4 which
says, “he has carried our infirmities and sicknesses.”
There is a path of endurance for the believer. Our partnership
with Christ helps us “go beyond” in ways the world does not accept. We build upon faith, trust, endurance given by God himself as a buffer for pain.
There is a huge difference between hurt which offers NO
relief and hurt laced with spiritual and eternal hope.
Even when you vomit, Christ holds your hand. Hold on!
