Another

miracle

that Jesus

performed

shortly

after leaving

to preach the

gospel was

healing

a leper.

This man

was doomed

to living life

as a begger.

He could not be among people or in the cities.

But he heard of Jesus and that He was some

where near. With hope, He waited until most

of the others were gone....then he cried, "If

thou wilt, thou canst make me clean."

To his joy, the Lord put forth His hand and

touched him saying, "I will; be thou clean."

Here we see Jesus showing that it is God's

will to heal sickness and disease. Some have

taught that it is not God's will to heal. So

thousands of sick and hurting people have

had to go through life suffering. Even some

have been told that God gave them the sick-

ness for some unknown reason.

Others have been told that God can work

wonderfully in their lives with their infirm-

ities causing them not to seek any further

for healing.

But Jesus taught that sickness and disease

and infirmities are of the devil.

(Luke 13:11,16)
