He Touched Me! - 6th Sunday in OT

Medical science was completely unable to treat leprosy when Jesus healed this man. There was no known treatment or medicine that could possibly restore his body, make him “clean” again, revive feeling in his deadened limbs. Only Christ’s power could do that. In the same way, many of us have lost faith in God’s power and purpose in our lives. We, too, are spiritually dead; we have no feeling of purpose in life, yet Christ can cleanse and restore us, giving us not just life, but abundant life. Christ is willing to heal our every hurt. Christ is willing to take away every sin. Christ is willing to grant us new life, if only we ask. Jesus says to each of us: “I am willing!”
