Objection: Jesus Could Not Have Borne Both Hypoglycemia and Hyperglycemia on the Cross

Since these are two mutually exclusive physical conditions, the idea of this smart-aleck objection is that Jesus could not have borne both at the same time.  (You can have too little blood sugar or too much blood sugar at any given moment, but not both conditions at once.)  Therefore (supposedly) Jesus could not have borne all of “our” diseases on the cross.  This is somewhere up there with debating how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, because He could have experienced both conditions at different times while on the cross.

This objection is no more intelligent than stating, “Jesus could not have borne both fever and chills while bearing a flu-like illness for you, because being too hot and being too cold are mutually exclusive conditions.”  Most of us know that you can experience opposite conditions not far apart from each other, though not simultaneously, due to a single illness.  If your temperature can spike around, your blood sugar can, too.  I wouldn’t be surprised to find people whose blood sugar levels also spike around due to a disease.

If you’re going to make objections like this, why stop there?  Ask yourself how Jesus could have borne the sins and sicknesses of all the billions of people in the world at the same time.  I can’t reason out how He carried all our sins and all our sicknesses even before we were born, but God that says He did.  Fortunately, He does not ask you to understand it; He simply asks you to believe it.

Your head may give you fits when you start trying to “understand” the Trinity, the new birth, Christ’s substitution, and other matters that we accept as articles of faith.  The important thing is that God has made declarations about these matters, and we should believe Him.

To say that you do not really believe that Jesus bore our sicknesses is to say that you do not believe the literal translation of Isaiah 53:4 (discussed elsewhere).

If you have hypoglycemia, Jesus bore it for you.  If you have hyperglycemia, Jesus bore it for you.  You don’t have to understand how this could be possible to be healed.  All you have to do is believe it.  Surely He bore YOUR diseases and carried YOUR pains.  That would include hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia if you have either.  You can believe that because God says so.
