“What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;”
Leviticus 22:4 KJV
God’s attitude towards sickness is that diseases, discharges and defects were prohibited from entering God’s Presence and such priests could neither offer nor eat the sacred offerings. There was and is absolutely no need for anyone of God’s covenant people to be sick when the Lord is our personal Physician. He is Yahweh Rapha, the God Who heals. No one can insult God by their lack of trust in Him which is why He didn’t allow them to enter His Presence. God is compassionate and merciful to those who do make mistakes in that He heals them. Those who wandered in the wilderness, there was none feeble among them. Jesus, the perfect God and Man, showed the same compassion for the sick and suffering while on earth. In His crucifixion He offered Himself as the great Sin Offering to cleanse and heal everyone of His people. The love of Christ makes sick people be healed even today when they put their faith in Him. Sin and sickness are the curses from the first Adam. Holiness and health are the blessings from the last Adam. By His Own Self He bare our sins in His Own body, and by Whose stripes we were healed. Amen!
