Commands to nature and to sickness and disease

[Mary Naeem]

Pope Shenouda III



Commands to nature and to sickness and disease can not be given by a human being. It is a Divine power which, in most cases, made those who watched Christ confess His Divinity, as we have mentioned previously.
Even in raising the dead, we see the element of command. In raising Jairus's daughter, the Lord said to her: " 'Talitha, cumi.' Immediately the girl arose and walked" (Mk. 5:41,42). The Lord nullified death by His order, and restored life to the little girl by His order..
