touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.

touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.
-- Mark 1 verse 41 (Kings James Bible)
- Jesus understanding first hand the sufferings of others,
not only had a desire to help, but also had the power to
do so. His compassion extended well beyond their
conditions, which often carried severe social and
religious implications. He also considered the hardship
on the soul separated from God and wanted to restore
that too.
- His compassion toward us is no different. He is willing to
make us clean and able to restore anew our relationship
with God, if we seek Him for it.
May His Word reassure your hope today.

may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
