Faith & Hope!

For Friday, July 30, 2021

Luke 5:13 NLT: “Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. ‘I am willing,’ he said. ‘Be clean!’ And immediately the leprosy left him.”

The leper in this story had faith in Jesus and his healing power, and having faith in Jesus is always the key. Q: Would Jesus be willing? Would he be willing to stop whatever he was doing, and take a moment to help this man?

A: Of course he would! That’s his character, his value system, his trend: being helpful and making things better! Rescuing mankind from whatever was keeping them down is his mission. Jesus solved the problems of everything from leprosy to sin! This man was healed right away, ‘immediately,’ and that translates into a lot of hope for us. There is no problem that Jesus cannot overcome. Jesus is always the right answer!
