Bible Question: what did Jesus do to stay in shape and have good health? |
Bible Answer: Dear Sir or Madam, While there is no direct answer to that question in the Bible, we can infer the answer from several points that we know about Jesus and his father. Jesus always taught whatever his Father commanded him and he was the ultimate example to imitate in terms of applying these teachings. The bible condemns any sort of excesses including excessive drinking and eating (proverbs 23:20). It also points at certain safety regulations to prevent bodily harm (compare deuteronomy 22:8). Jesus himself supported the idea of receiving medical treatment. In a well-known passage in which he speaks about him being sent for sinners, he says "“Persons in health do not need a physician, but the ailing do." (Mat. 9:12). In addition, the Bible warns of practices that could affect our health such as the consumption of blood, lack of hygiene, sexual promiscuity and others (Gal. 5:19-21). Since these are all Bible principles and Jesus was the perfecter of our faith, i.e. the main example for us to imitate, we can assume that he applied these principles. If you would like to continue this discussion, please reply to this post. Kind regards, Marisa |
