IT IS MY WILL, BE PURIFIED
Key verse 1 :41
When we have a very
strong spiritual desire, God allows us to reached His heart through our prayer.
For this very reason, Jesus manifested his power in this passage to show His
compassion towards this leper who had put all of his hope in him.
1.If you want (40-41)
In
accordance with the Jewish tradition, a leper was someone cursed. He had to cover
his mouth and constantly shout « impure, impure ». He was condamned
to suffering from this feeling of culpability and of being cursed throughout
his entire life. He had to live a fatalistic life of constant resignation
because this was an incurable disease. He was banished from society. Even
though he wanted to see his mother's face, he would come to the house and turn
around a bit before returning to his exile. However, when this man heard about
Jesus it was like the rising of a new day. He had heard about this called Jesus
who healed many sick and this thus gave him a new hope of being healed himself.
However, listening to Jesus is one thing, coming to him is another. This man
came to Jesus and implored him to heal him because he had put his hope and
faith in Jesus. Jesus healed him right away as this man's condition and faith
deeply moved him.
2. He was healed from leprecy (42-45)
When the Word came out of Jesus' mouth
it became powerful enough to heal this man. His skin became like that of a
child's ; pure. His leprecy was this chased. Just like the illness and the
evil spirits, the leprecy left this man. Jesus, however, knew that this man would
disrupt his mission. Nevertheless, like this man's father would, Jesus took
care of him up until the end. He told him to go do the official ceremony of
purification in order to join the
society again. Jesus, the good Shepherd, not only takes care of our spiritual
situations or but he takes care of all spheres of our life.
