After Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, He declared, “This sickness is not unto death” (v. 4). The direct translation of the word “sickness” in Greek is astheneia. It’s the exact same word as the word “infirmity,” which means “weakness” and “infirmity of the body . . . of the soul.” 2 So according to Jesus, Lazarus had an unhealed area in his soul that caused him to get physically sick and die before his appointed day.

BITTERNESS CAUSES PREMATURE DEATH

It’s amazing to me how many people believe God puts sickness on us to teach us a lesson and that He sends Satan against us to discipline us. How could God make us sick when His Son gave His very life to heal every disease and break every curse? By His stripes we are healed! (Isa. 53:5). The Bible says Jesus came to destroy the works of the enemy (1 John 3:8) and take away the power of the one who held the power of death, which is the devil (Heb. 2:14), and that He made a public spectacle of Satan at the cross (Col. 2:15). So there is no way God would go against what His Son gave His very life to accomplish by giving Satan permission to assault us.

It is never the will of God that we die of sickness and disease. But our inner man allows sickness and Satan to take us before our time. Look at this revealing scripture from Job:

One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet. His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow. And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul.

—JOB 21:23–24, KJV
