Hebrews 1:67-14 / Mark 1:40-45
For most of us, every day is usually quite routine.
We go about the day doing the usual thing.
There may be surprises here and there, but it won’t jolt us out of our tracks.
For that leper in the gospel, each day was a dread.
He could be living alone. But even if he was in a colony of lepers, it is like in the company of misery.
But in that lonely misery, something prompted him to go look for Jesus.
And when he came before Jesus, he pleaded with Jesus on his knees to cure him.
And Jesus did cure him of his leprosy, and Jesus seem so eager to cure him.
We too have days when we feel lonely and in misery.
We can either continue in that lonely misery routine.
Or we can go to a church and go before Jesus and ask Him for help.
Like the leper, we may be surprised at how eager Jesus wants to help us.
