Water of life

Water, the grace of Baptism, water flowing from the right side of the Altar, meaning that God the Father is the Altar, I mention this in reference to the Trinity . The healing water of the Christ.
Jesus gives the paraplegic the healing by simply saying to him 'pick up your mat and walk,' your sins are forgiven. Again the Pharisees see an opportunity to discredit him. It is a difficult theological question to answer, does illness have anything to do with sin? In a way yes and no.

I have a little amount of time to write this blog so I will say that, really who knows! God is his wisdom has only one purpose and that is our justification and santification. He is not interested in protecting us from illness or harm if it does not bring us closer to Him, this is God's design purpose, communion with Him. If it means we suffer, what of it, Paul speaks of his suffering to the Corinthians and constanly reminds them that suffering any amount of pain is not to be compared with the glory that will be revealed in us when we see God.
