Mark 1:40-42
A
leper came to Jesus and begged him, “If you so will, you can make me clean.” Moved
with pity, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be
clean.” The leprosy left the man at
once and he was made clean.
----My Own, in those days leprosy was feared more than death for it meant a living death, hell and separation for those who contracted it. It robbed the sufferer of all hope and no matter what
position of power, rank, or wealth he possessed he was still stripped of all
dignity. He had to leave in the outskirts of society where his fellow sufferers
lived and to the rest of his or her family members was considered dead.
---- remember that grave sin separates the sinner from God, there is always hope if the sinner repents and begs God for forgiveness, mercy and pardon. God will forgive all and He will restore all that was lost and the sinner will be filled with joy and praise for all God has done. Never let your shame rob you of God's mercy, forgiveness and compassion. To every one who approaches Me as this leper did and cries out to be made clean, I will reach out, touch, cleanse, heal, and restore completely.
