FOR SUNDAY 02.11.
A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.” Jesus was indignant. He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,”he said. “Be clean!” Immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed. Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning: “See that you don’t tell this to anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.” Instead, he went out and began to talk freely, spreading the news. As a result, Jesus could no longer enter a town openly but stayed outside in lonely places. Yet the people still came to him from everywhere.
MARK 1, 40-45 (NIV)
Today, let's explore the story of the leper who came to Jesus with such hope and faith that he was willing to cross all boundaries just to meet face to face with hope... with Jesus.
