THIS SICKNESS IS NOT UNTO DEATH 2 John 11v4a One would think that the sickness has only come to kill the body, but then you must recall that the THIEF on the right hand of Christ cross needed to be Alive physically in order to obtain the promise of paradise from the master Had he died before he got the cross he would not have met the master. So the sickness not only comes to kill the body, the sickness by killing the body also hinders every chance of salvation and redemption. But blessed be the Good master(JESUS) who prevented the sickness from leading to death...so that man by being alive can enjoy the privilege of grace, favor, salvation & ETERNAL LIFE For not to have ETERNAL LIFE is the SICKNESS UNTO DEATH
