Mathew 8:1-3 “When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him, and behold, a leper came and worshipped 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”
What an amazing testimony of the impact of the Word of God and His goodness. Jesus is not only ABLE to heal you but He’s WILLING to heal you. This man with leprosy must have had a terrible existence. Not only was he suffering because his body was covered with leprous sores, but also was forced to isolate himself and be cut off from his loved ones as instructed in Leviticus 13:45-46.
Do you realize how remarkable it is that Jesus touched a man with leprosy? Under the law, when the clean touched the unclean, the clean becomes unclean. Our Lord Jesus was showing that under grace, when the clean (Jesus) touched the unclean, the unclean becomes clean. Jesus did not contract the infectious disease of leprosy by touching the leper, He obliterated it! Praise God! Greater is He that is in you then he that is in the world! The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made you free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:2). You are not under law but you are under grace (Romans 6:14). Every germ, every sickness, every illness, every virus must die to the Person of grace who lives inside you! Say it with me, “I am a germ graveyard!”
