Jesus was human and thus was subjected to being sick,
Jesus had a body made out of clay or dust just as we have. But Jesus had divine blood flowing through His veins. So even if he were to get sick, He had the power to heal that sickness. After all, He was dead for three day and was raised up on the third day.
The pastor in my church here is 81 years old, and he does not get sick. Now if God can keep a 81 year old man healthy all the time. Then Jesus at 31 could have been healthy all the time. Even when I was in my early 30's it was very rare for me to be sick.
My father in 50 years I do not remember him ever once taking time off of work for being sick. Once on a Saturday afternoon when he was not working, he said he did not feel good, but he layed down and took a nap for two or three hours and when he got up he said he felt fine.
But the pastor does not really even get all that much tired, other than needing to sleep for two or three hours every now and then. He just seems to have all the divine strength and health he needs.
After all, Jesus could pray for others and they would receive healing and health. How much more could Jesus have good health for Himself. Esp. at His age.
There is a provision under the law for good health. How much more can we have good health under Grace if we do not fall short of the spirit of Grace.
People who fall short of God's grace, try to compare themselves to people who are walking with God and living Holy, Sanctifed lives. There is just no comparision. Maybe they should consecrate and dedicate themselves to God, so they too can see what divine health and strength is all about.
If we serve God, what good does sickness accomplish? Nothing at all. So there is no reason for God to allow us to get sick, it would just get in the way of us serving Him and doing His will.
God receives no glory from people being sick. What glorifies God is for us to always have good health.
John 5:14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
To be "made whole" means to receive divine health. The same divine health that Jesus had. IT stays with you for the rest of your life. Under the law, the only way you could lose it, would be to willfully sin. How much more under grace can we be made whole, and live free from any and all sickness.
We are just trying to show people what Jesus has made available for us all. If anyone is sick, that is their choice. There is none of us that needs to be sick. Jesus paid the price and made a provision for us to be healthy and walk in divine health.
For anyone to be sick in this age of grace, would be for them to fall short of receiving all that God has for them to receive. They would not be walking in the fullness of what Jesus provides for us.
