The Unclean Become Clean


A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean." Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!" Immediately he was cured of his leprosy". Matthew 8:2-3

Lepers not only suffer from physical pain but more often they suffer from emotional pain. In those times, lepers are pronounced as unclean and they are separated from the normal crowd. They are rejected from society and placed far from normal human society. The worst thing is they can't even be with their family and with their physical condition they can't touch anyone, even immediate family members. How sad it is for a person that can't even touch their loved ones. Physically and emotionally they are broken.


There is a man in the Bible who suffered from leprosy who came to the Lord Jesus for his healing. He came and knelt before the Lord and said, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean". The Lord Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!" Immediately he was cured of his leprosy. Matthew 8:2-3. Whoever has an encounter with the Lord will never be disappointed.


The gracious Lord was willing to heal the leper. But before the Lord healed the leper, He had done something very significant to the leper, "Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man". The Lord touched the leper with His loving arms first before healed the leper. Just imagine how the leper could have felt when someone touched him after many years of rejection, pain and suffering. The leper's emotional needs could have been filled by one touch from the Lord. Look at the heart of the Lord Jesus; when the society rejected the leper, the Lord was willing to touch his life again and to renew his whole life. Before the Lord literally said, "I am willing", He showed His willingness by His action which is by touching the one that was pronounced unclean. When the Lord touched the unclean, immediately the unclean became clean, "Immediately he was cured of his leprosy".


My friend, His loving touch can change any difficulties. He is still touching many lives in this world and transforming them to become new again. His loving touch is available for you as well. Come boldly into His presence and enjoy His touch that will transform your life day by day. He is able to do miracles in your life and in the lives of your loved ones. Dearest, never underestimate the heart of God. God is able to turn anything around you for His glory and for your benefit. Never give up seeking after His love. One loving touch from Him could change your entire life. His love is phenomenal for you.
