The Lord Said, I Will

The Bible is the most incredible Book in the world. It is filled with the Heart of God. A man came to Jesus that was suffering from a dreadful disease called leprosy. He sounded just like most people feel about God today, not sure that he really was concerned or willing to give him a miracle. Listen to how he addressed the Son Of God. “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” (Luke 5:12). This men certainly knew that Jesus could, but would He cleanse and heal a worthless leper? Jesus could look beyond a diseased and tormented body and by His power see a whole man ready to serve Him. I love the way Jesus answered this suffering man. Actually, His answer reaches all the way to us. Jesus did not have to say, “I Will.” He could have simply touched him and he would have had his answer. But, for the Word of God’s sake, all of us needed to hear the answer. His answer is for you today!!!!! He wants you to know He is willing. Read carefully, “And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him” (Luke 5:13). That “I Will” has never ended. “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).
