Bible Question (short): Healing in Death |
Question (full): I have a question to an answer I saw posted to 'Divine Healing'. It was stated 'One more note. For the Christian, I believe the ultimate healing takes place when we enter His presence for eternity, either by death or upon His return. There are times where we pray for healing, and the Lord answers it by bringing that person home.' I have hear this before but it was said 'Their healing came when they died'. My question is are there accounts in scripture where our Father or our Lord Jesus answered someone who was asking for healing with the answer of death. I have read through the gospels and saw where many came to Jesus with a physical sickness/ailment or even death (Jarius and the Centurion) and Jesus granted them what they ask for in this life time. So, for me to believe that our Father answers his child's request to be healed here on this side of heaven (it is possible that some who are dealing with sickness may want to go one and be with our Father) with death, I would have to see in HIS Word (what I must base my faith on) where He has answered that way. So far I have only seen where HE and Jesus healed and the people still lived. Thanks and may our Father's peace to unto you all. |
