Mark 1:40 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. 41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand,
and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. 42 And
as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from
him, and he was cleansed
Luke 5:12 And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man
full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him,
saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 13 And he put
forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And
immediately the leprosy departed from him.
1. The Lepers condition. vs2 a leper
Lev 13:45 And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be
rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his
upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean. 46 All the days
wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is
unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his
habitation be.
Num 5:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Command the
children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and
every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the
dead: 3 Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp
shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst
whereof I dwell.
2. The Lepers confession make me clean
At least he knew he was a leper
Rom 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world,
and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men,
for that all have sinned:
1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves,
and the truth is not in us.
I'm not talking about the original sin, or being born into sin, I'm
talking about how the world has influenced us, instead of us
influencing the world
3. The Lepers conviction Lord, worshipped Him , thou canst make me
Rom 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is
manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ
unto all and upon all them that believe:
No name it and claim it. God answers prayer when it's for our good
and His glory. If it's not, He won't
John 9:1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from
his birth. 2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin,
this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? 3 Jesus answered,
Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of
God should be made manifest in him.
4. The Lord's compassion vs3 touched him
Jesus didn't just speak the words or tell the leper to go and wash in
the pool of slalom, He Touched him.
1 John 4:8 tells us God is love and again in
1 John 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the
Son to be the Saviour of the world. 15 Whosoever shall confess
that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in
God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God
hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in
God, and God in him.
Heb 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched
with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted
like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly
unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find
grace to help in time of need.
