Mt 8:2 A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.
Mt 8:3 Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man.I am willing, he said. Be clean! Immediately he was cured of his leprosy.
There is no disease more dreadful to the human family mentioned in the Bible as leprosy. Moses gave particular directions of which real leprosy was to be distinguished from other diseases. ( Le 31:1) The leprous person was to be properly separated from the congregation.
This man exhibited great faith. He also acknowledged his dependence on the will of Jesus in order to be healed. Believers must submit themselves to God’s will .
It’s extremely refreshing to note that no one ever came to Jesus with this attitude and faith that was not received, pardoned and healed. He is more than willing to do the same today.
