Now, just for a word now, when Jesus Christ…He came to rid sin. You believe that, don’t you. All right. Now, sickness is an attribute of sin. Before we had any sin, we had no sickness. Sin came and sickness followed sin as an attribute of sin. We all know that. Any sickness is… May not your sins. It’s either a direct or indirect. It may you inherited it somewhere, the weakness of your people who sinned, and it’s dropped down. As He said, “Each generation getting weaker and wiser.” But it’s either direct or indirect cause from sin. Now, when Jesus…For instance, like this. If a big serpent was here, or a great big something that had me by the side with his paw, and was hurting me with his paw. Now, it’s not necessary for me to have to cut the animal’s paw off. But if something hits him in the head and kills his head, that kills him all over. And when Jesus atoned for sin, He killed sin and every one of its attributes. He killed the serpent from its head. Do you believe that? Now, that’s true. Then if He atoned for sin, He atoned for sickness because sickness is secondarily, an attribute of sin. Our worry, our troubles, our fears, and all those things are attributes from sin.
