Matthew 8:1-4
1When Jesus came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him.2 A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”
3 Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy. 4 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.”
Reflection
In our scripture today, we are reminded that like the leper even if we fall short God is willing to make us clean. This is a source of hope that God can clean up the mess we have made by following things other than his word. Take time now to share the mess you have in your life.
