Mark 1: 40,41
And there came a leper to Him, beseeching Him, and kneeling down to Him, and saying unto Him, "If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean". And JESUS, moved with compassion, put forth His hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, "I will, be thou clean."
THERE ARE NO "IFS" WITH GOD - ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE
The leper in this account, in Mark, was filled with faith and filled with humility and boldness. He came to JESUS, knelt down before JESUS, and asked a question with boldness. The "if" in this question was not a word of doubt, but a word of humility. He was saying: "if you find me worthy, then heal me." This precious person, kneeling before JESUS, stirred up deep emotions. JESUS is moved with compassion by the painful disease this leper was suffering; He was moved with compassion by the humility of the man; and He was moved with compassion by the faith.
This story has a lot to say to us. First of all, all things are possible with GOD. Believe this with all your heart. Next, we are a part of the family of GOD and His desire is that we be perfectly whole and healed. Believe this with all your heart. Next, we are always welcome to come to JESUS with our needs and He will say to you; "I will, be thou clean."
The sicknesses that haunt us, raise up in JESUS a great compassion. He wants to help in our time of need. He wants all of His family to be whole, complete and perfect. It was this great compassion for the world, that motivated JESUS to go all the way to Calvary and die; go to hell to release the captives and walk among the friends as risen LORD; then return to Glory to sit at the right hand of the Father. He took His Blood into the Holy of Hollies as an offering for us; He now makes intercession for us to the Father day and night. His compassion has no end and never departs.
Humility, in the presence of GOD, is the response of love, respect, faithfulness and awe. No one can stand in the awesome glory of GOD. Our Father is Holy, infinite, creator GOD; He holds the key to our wholeness. He bids us welcome and beckons us to come to Him and ask for help in the time of need. His promises are yea and amen. He will do as He has promised.
BELOVED, YOU ARE A PART OF THE FAMILY OF GOD; HE IS YOUR FATHER AND HE LOVES YOU.
