The Leper's Solitude
Wednesday, March 29, 2017
Leviticus 13 says, "The one with leprosy shall wear torn clothes, uncover his head, cover his upper lip, and cry unclean…. He's to dwell alone." The leper in the bible is a picture of how we are spiritually, dwelling in this world as spiritual lepers. That's how most of us start out in life, unclean, with guilt inside. When you're guilty, you're not clean; you dwell alone, out of fellowship with God. Maybe you're saved now, but you still feel like you're not worthy. We have this account of the leper who didn't let his condition stop him from coming to Messiah. He comes to Messiah and says, "You can make me clean if you're willing." Messiah says, "I am willing." Yeshua touches him and he's cleansed and is at the end of his aloneness. Whatever the thing is in your life- no matter how bad or shameful- bring it to Messiah. Let Him touch it - your guilt, your shame, your infirmity - and He will remove it and your conscience will be cleansed. You won't dwell alone anymore, but with Him as a beloved child of God.
From Message #655 - If You Are Willing
Scripture: 1 John 1:9
TODAY'S MISSION - Bring your leprosy, your infirmity, your weakness, your shame, your wounds, your sin, and any unclean thing to Messiah today and let Him touch you and set you free.
