Sickness (7)

Dost thou believe that thou canst not be saved but by the death of Christ? The sick man answereth, Yes. Then let it be said unto him, Go to then, and whilst thy soul abideth in thee, put all thy confidence in this death alone. Place thy trust in no other thing. Commit thyself wholly to this death. Cover thyself wholly with this alone. Cast thyself wholly on His death. Wrap thyself wholly in this death. And if God would judge thee, say, "Lord, I place the death of our Lord Jesus Christ between me and Thy judgment; and otherwise I will not contend with Thee." And if He shall say unto thee that thou art a sinner, say, "I place the death of our Lord Jesus Christ between me and my sins." If He shall say unto thee that thou hast deserved damnation, say, "Lord, I put the death of our Lord Jesus Christ between Thee and all my sins; and I offer His merits for my own, which I should have and have not." If He say that He is angry with thee, say, "Lord, I place the death of our Lord Jesus Christ between me and Thy anger."Anselm

Anselm Death Sickness Confidence Judgement

I am half content to have boils for my Lord Jesus's plaisters. Sickness hath this advantage, that it draweth our sweet Physician's hand and His holy and soft fingers to touch our withered and leper skins: it is a blessed fever that fetcheth Christ to the bedside --I think my Lord's, "How doest thou with it, sick body?" is worth all my pained nightsThe Loveliness of Christ

the Word of God condemns unconditionally all seeking of medical help which excludes a seeking of the Lord, all use of preventatives and cures which disregards God, which fails to acknowledge Him as the giver of both the remedy and the wisdom to apply it. He who struggles against sickness and suffering without humbling himself in prayer and supplication before God, brings upon himself the curse of God. Not only the curse of Eden but a second curse comes upon the man who in foolish pride believes himself wise enough and strong enough and great enough to harness and subdue and control nature.The Practice of Godliness

Very well, by God's decree, the enemy has sent us poison and deadly offal. Therefore, I shall ask God mercifully to protect us. Then I shall fumigate, help purify the air, administer medicine, and take it. I shall avoid places and persons where my presence is not needed in order not to become contaminated and thus perchance infect and pollute others, and so cause their death as a result of my negligence. If God should wish to take me, he will surely find me and I have done what he has expected of me and so I am not responsible for either my own death or the death of others. If my neighbor needs me, however, I shall not avoid place or person, but will go freely.Luthers Works; Vol. 43, pg. 132

No godly man falls in any common calamity till his glass be run and his work done; so I say of all those dear servants of the Lord that have fallen by the pestilence in the midst of us. Their hour was come and their course was finished. Had God had any further doing work, or suffering work, or bearing work, or witnessing work for them in this world, 'twas not all the angels in heaven nor all the malignant diseases in the world that could ever have cut them off from the land of the living.

It is usual in providence that they who have God's heart should feel God's hand most heavy. I have observed it, that God's children never question His love so much as in sickness. Our thoughts return upon us in such retirement, and the weakness of the body discomposes the mind and deprives us of the free exercise of spiritual reason; to sense and feeling all is sharp.

Men will shun a house infected with the pestilence, much more then is the dwelling-place of the harlot to be avoided, who is infinitely more contagious and dangerous than any plague.https://www.digitalpuritan.net/Digital%20Puritan%20Resources/Cotton,%20John/Commentary%20on%20Ecclesiastes%20&%20Cantiles.txt.html
