Luke 5:12-13
A Man Cleansed
12 While He was in one of the towns, a man was there who had a serious skin disease all over him. He saw Jesus, fell facedown, and begged Him: Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.
13 Reaching out His hand, He touched him, saying, I am willing; be made clean, and immediately the disease left him.
These verses have reminded me how defiled I am before the eyes of God Yahweh without the cleansing hand of our Saviour....
On Sunday Pastor David continued on this very eye opening point on sin... If you did not read the first blog or listen to the first sermon, go back you don't want to miss the first part.
Here is the link for the sermon....

Second part Notes:
II. The Lords concern
What Jesus was about should be what we are about!
A. Lord is compassionate to the leper
We don't know the last time this leper felt human touch, and our Lord reaches out and touches him.
This is ministry-- getting your hands dirty with those whom the world has cast away.
Disregard conventional modesties....
1. His compassion towards lost Matthew 9:36-38
2. Compassion towards the hungry
Matthew 15:32
3. His compassion toward the sick
John 9:1-12
4. His compassion toward the exploited
Luke 10:30-37
Philipians 2:2-4
1 John 3:17
Who are you touching? Jesus touches the most vile person in the culture...
How do we show compassion to sexual criminals? Those with aides?
What do we do as a church? Do we invite them to our homes for dinner?
Luke 7:39-- are we going to show compassion to those the world hates?
Are we going to deal with sinners with all that encompasses?
B. The Lord cleanses the leper
III. The Lords command
Don't tell anyone... He didn't listen.
IV. The Lords communion
Getting away and being alone with the Lord is important.
Do you See yourself as a leper before the Lord, sinful and broken, as you come before the Lord seeking His compassion and His cleansing?
