Priests should not be sick, and you're a priest

Leviticus 21:16-23

Priests with physical deformities were not allowed into the Holy of Holies under the Old Covenant. God said entering his sanctuary with a physical deformity would profane it. God did not want sickness or deformity in his holy presence.

If God did not want his priests who served him to have physical deformities under the Old Covenant, why would he want priests under the New Covenant to be sick or deformed? You are a priest (Rev 1:6, Rev 5:10, 1 Peter 2:9) under the New Covenant!

That doesn't mean that you can't approach God if you're sick! The blood of Jesus has permanently opened the Holy of Holies to you. In fact, you should go to God if you're sick! God healed the sick under the Old Covenant, too. The point I am making is that God did not want sickness in his presence under the Old Covenant. Why should he want it in his presence, which now dwells within believers, under our New Covenant? If he didn't want it in his Old Covenant temple (a tent), why should he want it in his New Covenant temple (your body)?
