Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
If there was ever a group of people who had a totally miserable life it was the lepers. Being sick was bad enough, but they were also kicked out of all the towns, forced to make their own colonies in caves and other primitive places. Jesus didn't really seem to care all that much that the lepers were outsiders. In fact, that is who Jesus spent most of his time with: the sinners and the outcasts. Jesus did not preach to the sinners and outcasts from a far off place. He spent time with them. As they were suffering, Jesus was with them. In their time of need they were not alone. We may not all have leprosy, but we are all suffering. We are all outcasts in our own way. And we have all sinned. And for those of us who need someone in our lives, we have Jesus. We will never be alone, for we have a Lord who will always be with us, no matter what the circumstances are. When we are suffering we know we have Jesus in our lives, and that he will give us the message we all need to hear: I am with you always. God bless,
Pastor Josh
