Direct Ask

A man with leprosy came to Jesus and knelt down. – Slide 3

 Mt 8:1-4

 Jesus Heals a Man With Leprosy

When Jesus came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him. A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”

Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy. Then Jesus said to him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

This succinct account of the leper's cure illustrates his faith and the willingness of Jesus to grant his request. Have we ever made our request to Jesus in such a direct and simple way? I have long suffered with pain from head to toe; I need to learn how to ask for healing.  Teach me,dear Jesus.

Dear Jesus, if you are willing, you can heal me. Amen.
