DAILY?READINGS: 1 Samuel 30-31; Micah 1-2; Romans 9:1-29
…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. And he put forth his hand, and touched him. Luke 5:12-13
A surgeon was asked, “Do you ever fear losing the feeling in your fingers so you are unable to perform surgeries?” “No”, he replied, “but I do fear the day when I lose the feeling for my patients.” An outcast of society begged Jesus to touch him. Dr. Luke, in using the term, “full of leprosy” indicates he was beyond human help. But he was never beyond the Saviour’s healing touch. Leprosy is a picture of sin and in that matter we are beyond help. We need the forgiving touch of the Saviour. Trust Him and He will cleanse you today. —Jim Comte
Just one touch! And He makes me whole,
Speaks sweet peace to my sin-sick soul.
—B. Bell
