ABSTRACT
Jesus came into this sick world as Health. He was Himself perfectly healthy. We have no hint that He was ever ill or suffered physical pain—until they crucified Him. It was said in the words of the prophet that He bore our diseases ; but that was only in the sense that He bore our sins ; He did not suffer the diseases nor did He commit the sins ; He took both upon Himself, that He might heal our diseases and take away our sins. Coming into a world, Himself so healthy, that was full of diseases, He began by an instinct to heal. Immediately all that were afflicted with any complaint or defect gathered round Him, and He spent the greater part of His early ministry in doing a physician’s work. We see no limit to His healing power ; chronic disablement, blindness, insanity, yielded to His treatment. On three occasions He even called back to life those who had just died.
