In Matthew, we read the story of a man who came to Jesus for healing. He was a leper, and he was forbidden to be close to other people. He was to cry out, “Unclean, unclean” anytime he approached others. Imagine how isolated and lonely he must have felt. It took a lot of courage for him to approach Jesus. It required even more courage to request healing. He didn’t doubt Jesus could heal him; he had surely heard the stories about the miracles Jesus had already performed. If anyone needed a miracle, he did. The only doubt he had was whether Jesus was willing to heal him or not. “After all,” he must have reasoned, “I’m just a leper.” When he approached Jesus, he knelt before Him and acknowledged Jesus as Lord. He then made his petition, not doubting Jesus’ ability to heal, but His willingness. Jesus immediately answered, “I am willing.” Don’t we do the same thing today? We don’t doubt God’s healing power, but we wonder if He’s willing to heal us. We think we are insignificant. But Jesus didn't hesitate to express His willingness to the leper, and He is equally willing to heal us today.
