Meditate
On
When
He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. And behold,
a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make
me clean.” Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing;
be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
Matthew
8:1–3
Beyond All Expectations
When
the Lord blesses you, He blesses you beyond what you expect. In the healing of
the leper, Jesus reached out and touched the leper, saying, “I am willing; be
cleansed.” And immediately, the man was healed.
Did
you notice that Jesus touched the leper first before He healed him? I love
these little gestures of Jesus! That simple touch restored a sense of humanity
and dignity to the man who had not been touched for a long time. Because of his
unclean and physically repulsive condition, no one wanted to be close to him,
much less touch him.
Jesus
knew that the leper needed more than just physical healing, so He gave above
and beyond what the leper had hoped for. Beloved, that’s the love and
over-supplying grace of your Savior!
What is your lack today? As you meditate
on the largeness of His grace toward you, know beyond any doubt that Jesus’
provision will exceed all your expectations!
