Was Jesus ever sick? NOPE. Was Jesus ever weak? YES I think so, after ALL the punishment! I get the idea that Jesus was to weak to carry the cross, that is why they gave it to Simon of Cyrene to carry. Jesus had to bear a LOT and no one blames Him for it, least of all me, but they really punished HIM and he went through a lot that night in the hands of the evil.

The other two and the other crucified people before Jesus, never got the treatment HE got. His crusifixion was not only the most UNFAIR, but it also was the most CRUEL! The only thing HE did not suffer was the broken bone part.... They did not break a single bone in His Body, because it was prophecied that NO BONE WILL BE BROKEN!

So I think as man, Jesus was weak at least ONCE at the cross, and ONCE when He fasted to be tempted. Also when He fell asleep in a storm. Believe me your body has to be TIRED and WEAK to sleep in a small boat in a storm. A storm can toss a little boat and to keep on sleeping, you have to be tired to a weak body state!

I hope this gives some clarification to weak and sick. We do not have to be sick to be weak, but useually we are weak when we are sick. But Jesus was NEVER sick.

You are making an HUGE assumption. Just because the Word doesn't portray Jesus as ever having a head cold, doesn't necessarily mean he didn't. The bible doesn't tell all the minuet details. Under your logical I could say Jesus never defecated or peed, or bathed, or laughed, or got cut, burned or scrapped (besides the cross), or had calluses, or ran. Jesus was recorded sleeping one time, does that mean that's all the sleep he got?

Did any of the disciples get sick, did King Harold get sick, did the pharisees get sick? Did Judas Iscariot get sick? There are many Characters in the bible both on God's side and against God where the bible never mentions about them getting sick.

But I would say this, back then I think people where generally healthier because they had a pure diet. Not the junk we have in our store bought food today.

I sometimes buy food from the store... I do tend to avoid JUNK FOOD.
As LesJude has pointed out there are more than one reason for sickness and disease... you must take that into account as part of the whole Counsel of God in determining sickness cause. I never noticed him to say ALL sickness is caused by a demon...yet some here have had a real grand time chewing that bone. Can't leave the Holy Spirit out of the equation either... yet I know plenty of people who prefer pills over the ministration of Jesus, the discipline of self control, and the yeilding to the HOLY Spirit to function in their daily life. God is a gentleman... he isn't going to force himself on anyone.

Not everything can be taken in a strict literal sense.

Proverbs 12:28

28 In the way of righteousness is life,
And in its pathway there is no death.

I am here to point people to God's word so they can believe and receive ALL He PROMISES for themselves. They have no need to be dependent on anyone but God for anything He promises and He does not want them to be. It is how He trained us and how He will train anyone that will submit both carefully and lovingly. We have prayed for many in our home, elsewhere when called, in public places for people sick or injured we did not even know, and done it by telephone as well. We have seen MUCH more success then failure. The ones we lose hurt and we seek God as to where we missed Him and could have done differently. The ones that let us we continue to minister to and encourage. One that was not raised from the dead REALLY hurt as well as one that was not healed of cancer. He, the one with cancer, did get saved just before He went to be with Jesus. We have seen people healed of terminal cancer, psychoses, severe asthma and MUCH more too numerous to mention. I have a list in a notebook.
We are essentially nameless and faceless and are are not interested in publicity as Jesus wasn't. In fact we really try to avoid it.

We did all we knew to do at the time. Did you? We sought God to see where we missed Him. Did you? He rejected everything we told him about salvation and divine healing we ministered to him and his wife. It was at the last minute they called and asked me to come. He asked for salvation, I prayed with him for it and healing. His wife KNEW God touched him immediately. What I have said about the situation is NO EXCUSE for me not seeing him healed. Even she has not received Jesus yet but is still close to our family and used our daughters to watch her young son until the girls moved away.

:) WHEN THE MAN LAYED BY THE POOL WAITING FOR THE ANGEL TO STIR THE WATER, HE HAD NO ONE HE SAID TO LIFT HIM AND PUT HIM IN THERE. WASN'T IT JESUS WHO CAME BY THAT DAY, AND HE TOLD JESUS THAT NO ONE WAS THERE TO HELP HIM. JESUS SAID, TAKE UP THY BED AND BE HEALED. WHAT HAPPENED HERE. HE LIFTED HIS EYES INTO THE MASTER'S EYES. THERE WAS FAITH OBVIOUSLY THERE IN HIM, TO WAIT SO LONG FOR HIS HEALING. IT'S NOT MUCH DIFFERENT WITH PEOPLE. WE WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO COME AROUND, AND PULL THAT SWITCH TO MAKE IT ALL RIGHT. THE PREACHER, THE MINISTER, THESE ARE JUST PEOPLE. WHAT MAKES SOME WHOLE AND OTHERS NOT, IS THEIR OWN FAITH. WHEN THE WOMEN WITH THE ISSUE OF BLOOD TOUCHED THE HEM OF JESUS GARMENT, SHE WAS HEALED BY HER FAITH. SHE BELIEVED IF SHE COULD JUST TOUCH HIM. THE LORD DIDN'T SEE HER , BUT SAID, {WHO TOUCHED ME, FOR HE FELT VIRTUE FAITH COME IN CONTACT FROM HIM.} IF LIFTING OUR EYES INTO LOOKING INTO THE EYES OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, BY FAITH, IT IS HIM THAT IS ALL THAT IS NEEDED. WHAT STOPS FAITH, FAITH IS LIKE A MUSCLE, A SUPER ONE IN THAT , THAT JESUS SAID, IF YOU HAVE FAITH, AS A GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED, YOU WILL SAY UNTO THE MOUNTAIN MOVE AND IT WILL. HOW DO WE ACHIEVE THIS FAITH. FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD, IS SCRIPTURE. ACTING IN FAITH, IS EXPECTING THE UNSEEN. JESUS SAID DO THIS AND DO THAT. THERE'S A STORY OF A KOREAN WOMEN FROM PASTOR CHO'S CHURCH IN SEOL KOREA. SHE HAD NO HOPE WITH HER VOICE. SHE WENT TO THE PASTOR FOR HELP AND HE TOLD HER WRITE 1000 TIMES I CAN SPEAK AND SAY IT EACH TIME EVEN IN A WHISPER, BY THE TIME SHE GOT TO THE END, SHE WAS TALKING LOUDLY. IF THE SPIRIT IS WILLING THEN THE FLESH IS WEAK, AS IT SAYS, THEN IF THE SPIRIT GET'S STRONGER AND IT WILL HAVE THE FLESH IN AUTHORITY AS THE FLESH IS WEAK. TO THINK POSITIVE, AND HAVE THIS KIND OF OUTLOOK, SAYING AND DOING ARE DIFFERENT, THE MIND AND MOUTH MUST COME INTO AGREEMENT. FOR AS THE MAN THINKETH IN HIS HEART SO HE IS. THE ONE THING THAT PUTS A COVER ON HOPE IS FEAR. IT'S MAN'S ENEMEY FROM BEING IN CLOSENESS WITH GOD, AS WHEN ADAM WAS AFRAID, HE WENT INTO HIDING. WHY I DON'T KNOW, BUT I DO KNOW JESUS IS WITH US, AND BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED. THAT'S WHAT SCRIPTURE SAYS.
