Key Verse

“And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.” Mark 1:41

Text — Mark 1:40-42

Message

The compassionate Lord is always willing not only to cleanse, but also to save. He was going about preaching, saving and healing the sick. There is no need in our lives that He is not willing to meet. The leprosy had been long, together with its pain and shame, but when the leper met the willing Healer, his years of pain, shame and isolation were taken away instantly.
What a willing Saviour! But he, the leper, himself was willing to come, to ask. It was a matter of a willing seeker meeting a willing Healer. Jesus says in the Gospel according to Saint John, “…and him that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out.” (John 6:37b). The arms of the Lord are wide open to receive, save, deliver, heal and bless whoever willingly comes to Him.

The leper, though rejected, isolated from people around did not allow his bad situation to hinder him from receiving help from the only One who could help him. Leprosy separates the leper from men, while sin separates the sinner from God forever. As Jesus was willing to cleanse the leper then, He is willing today to save the sinner from sin. But, are you ready to repent? Bow down your head in prayer. Tell Him all the bad things you have done, and repent. He will forgive and cleanse you from all sins.
