Matthew 8-10

Scripture - Matthew 8:3 Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying "I am willing; be cleansed." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

Observation - I love Jesus. No matter what situation I am in, the answer is always "I am willing." Jesus is willing to help, willing to love, willing to care, willing to meet every need according to His riches in glory. Jesus is willing. I love that he reached out and touched the man and changed all of life's circumstances for this guy. He went from being an outcast with leprosy to someone that was touched by God and clean. He no longer was identified by his disease. He was clean.

Application - Jesus is willing. I am not sure what else needs to be said. It is the greatest message on the planet. Jesus is willing. I guess you could go on to say "He touched him". The greatest message in the world always has Jesus at the center.

Prayer - Thank you for being willing...
