'' And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean. Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Matthew 8:2-3 (NKJV) | |||||||
When you see someone receiving
a miraculous healing or financial breakthrough, do you ask, “What about me,
Lord?” I believe that the leper who came to Jesus must have asked the same
question.
He must have heard or seen from
a distance, since he was not permitted to be in public places by the law, how
Jesus had healed the sick. So he had no doubt that Jesus could heal him, but he was not sure
if Jesus would. He said to Jesus, “Lord, if You are willing,
You can make me clean.” (Matthew 8:2) He was confident of the power of God,
but not the love of God for him.
Like the leper, maybe you don’t
have a problem believing that God can give you your miracle, since
He is Almighty God. But you are wondering if He will do it for you. My friend, let
Jesus’ actions and answer to the leper settle this question once and for all.
He stretched forth His hand, touched the leper and said, “I am
willing; be
cleansed.” And immediately, the leper was healed.
I want you to notice that Jesus
touched the leper. He could have healed him from a distance with just a
spoken word. He had healed others this way as in the case of the centurion’s
servant and the Syro-Phoenician woman’s daughter. So why did He touch the
leper?
Jesus knew that for so many
years, the leper had been cut off from his family and society, so he must
have been feeling dehumanized. I believe that Jesus touched him to make him
feel human again, to make him feel loved and accepted again. His touch was
His love language to the leper.
Can you see God’s heart of love
here? Can you see how much He loved the leper? That is how much He loves you!
The day that you come to know God’s heart of love and believe that He wants
you blessed more than you want to be blessed is the day that you receive your
miracle!
Beloved, catch a glimpse of
God’s heart of love, and you will believe that He is not only able, but also
willing to make you whole!
God Bless YOU! ....culled from www.josephprince.org |
