Many people I have known have heard the diagnosis, “You have an incurable disease.” Some have chosen not to receive treatments that might prolong their lives a bit because of the horrible side effects. They knew what they had was incurable and were ready to face it and their Maker.

Doctors often speak of incurable diseases. Charles Kettering was a famous research scientist and inventor from the last century. He founded Delco and was the head of research for General Motors for almost 30 years. He had 186 patents. He once quipped: “Did you ever stop to think what an incurable disease is? It is the one the doctor doesn’t know how to cure.”

We have those in this world of sin. And that is what our sinful condition would be without Jesus – something we would not be able to cure. While there will be illnesses and diseases here on earth for which man will not find a cure, that is not true of sin. We have been given the cure. It is available to everyone. It came through what Jesus did for us. Christ Jesus came to this world to save sinners. He did that by living a life without sin and offering that in your place as the payment for your sin. His death was the satisfaction God’s justice demanded for the sins of the world. And then Jesus rose from the dead, not only announce his victory over death, but to tell you that His victory, His cure for sin, can be yours if you want it.

1 John 2:2 [Jesus] is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

You find out about this when you go to the source: God’s Word. It is good to spend time in that Word. Try doing that this week. You will find the cure for what ails you.
