1 Timothy 6:6 New English Translation
6 Now godliness combined with contentment brings great profit.

Sickness is portrayed as a blessing by some who go through life
Jesus never said it was just an expression of the Father’s Love
He asks us to suffer, but not to be really sick for Him
He just asks us to follow Him and take up our cross
Tribulation is plentiful in this fallen world
But sickness is not tribulation just an off-spring of the “Fall”
Christ suffered on earth a lot, but really was not sick
For sickness reflects sin in our bodies after all
If Christ had not absorbed all the sin in the world
And let us say He had chosen to die after all
Then Salvation would not have been possible
For without sin, there is really no death to call
And His body would have never decayed
He had perfection from way before the “Fall”
But that was not God’s plan for fallen man
In love, He prepares a Mansion for His own,” y’all”
