What does the Bible say about healing and affliction?

The Bible demonstrates that afflictions affect all people, rich or poor, as Job noted, 'man that is born of woman is of few days and full of trouble.' Jesus emphasizes that sickness and death can strike anyone, as seen in the account of the nobleman whose son was at the point of death despite his wealth. Healing is ultimately from God, and while we are grateful for doctors and medicine, it is God's blessing that grants health and recovery. The rich nobleman sought out Jesus, illustrating that only Christ can provide true healing.
