Scripture
Matthew 8 v. 3
And he stretched out his hand and touched him, saying I will; be
clean.
Jesus just finished his
sermon on the mount. And great crowds were following him when a leper came
and asked Jesus to clean or "cure" him. Leprosy was a bad disease
back in that time, and if you had it, you had to be removed from the community.
People stayed away from them. Not so for Jesus, he could have said the words, but
he also reached out and touched him. Today, we are like the leper and living in
sin and in a fallen world. I'm sure we are gross to God but yet.... Jesus is
willing to reach out and touch us, even in the midst of our sin to clean
us. We just need to ask.
