God's Will?

And the leper came to Jesus, imploring him, and kneeling said to him, "If you will, you can make me clean."

Jesus was moved with pity.

was heart-wrenched; his guts knotted up (splagchnizomai!)

saw the person and his physical and spiritual need and was MOVED - He aches for us

Jesus is moved with pity for us as well, when he sees our physical needs, and our gaping, disgusting spiritual needs.

Jesus touched the leper.

"I will. Be cleansed."

He wills.

Jesus shows us at every turn that He is trustworthy. He wills that we be cleansed.

He wills our life, health, and salvation.

Knowing our hearts, knowing the sin that plagues us constantly, knowing that we betray the One who blesses us, He wills that we take refuge in Him.

Thy will be done, Jesus. Amen
