Sickness destroys our power of action. 2. It deprives a man of rest. 3. It frequently occasions delirium. 4. It deforms the body. 5. It is the forerunner of death. II. THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE GREAT PHYSICIAN. III. THAT MEN ARE GENERALLY TOO INSENSIBLE OF THEIR SINS TO APPLY TO CHRIST. IV. THOSE WHO KNOW THEIR TRUE CONDITION ARE VERY DESIROUS OF HIS HELP, (G. Burder.) Parallel Verses KJV: But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. |
