Scripture-
Mark 1:41 Filled with compassion, Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. "I am willing," He said. "Be clean!"
Observation-
This is a great verse. A man with leprosy asked Jesus to heal him and make him clean. Jesus is certainly willing! He is filled with compassion and love for us all and came to this earth for our salvation - to defeat sin and death through His crucifixion and resurrection. Jesus is willing and wants us to be clean, to be free from our guilt and shame that sin and evil brings and He desires our acceptance of His amazing gift of eternal life.
Application-
I never want to minimize or underestimate the greatness of Jesus' love and compassion for us. Jesus is willing to clean anyone who comes to Him with a sincere heart, asks forgiveness, and follows Him. I want to make sure I can communicate this message to others and this is another great example of how much Jesus loves us.
Prayer-
Father, thank You for the ultimate gift of Your Son Jesus who gave us eternal life at Calvary and through His resurrection. The bounds of His love and compassion are so great that we can't fully understand it because He gave Himself up as a sacrifice for me and all who believe. I am clean because of Him and I rejoice in that! Help me to live a life of testimony to Your greatness and the joy and peace that I have found in Your Son Jesus Christ. I love and praise You. Amen.
