up this chapter today. Mark chapter one. Start at verse 40. And there came a leper to him,
beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying, If thou
wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus moved with compassion,
put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will
be thou clean. And as soon as he had spoken,
immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. And he straightly charged him
and forthwith sent him away. and saith unto him, See thou
say nothing to any man, but go thy way, show thyself to the
priest, and offer for thy cleansings those things which Moses commanded
for testimony unto them. But he went out, and began to
publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that
Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without
in desert places, and they came to him from every quarter." Oh, our blessed, blessed God, great and glorious in your being, eternal, righteous, holy, inhabits eternity, you measure
the water in the hollows of your hand, you count the nations as
a drop in the bus, and you don't even consider the
dust on the balance. And oh Lord, how great thou art. No one, no one is like a nun
to you. We look into the stars and the
heaven and the moon and we say, Lord, what is man that you're
mindful of him, that you'd even consider us in any way. But Lord,
you and your sovereign mercy and sovereign grace and abundant
mercy through your blessed son, our Lord Jesus Christ, you and
your infinite wisdom made a way for sinners like ourselves to
be able to be saved, to be eternally saved, to be saved from ourselves. And Lord, we thank you for your
wisdom that devised a way where you could stay God, stay holy,

morning, I'd say every one of us is. I'd say every one of us
is. Some of us are saved, some of
us are not, some are and some ain't. But I pray that those
that are not, today would be the day Now this I read to you
about a leper being cleansed and our Lord having compassion,
had compassion on him and touched him. And how our Lord acts towards
the helpless and the hopeless and towards sinners, unclean
sinners, it's amazing that He would have anything to do with
anybody. But He came into this world and He was alive He was
life. Not only is He life, and that's
what I'm going to preach on this evening, Christ Our Life, but
He is life. Separated from Him is nothing
but death. That article put in there by Bruce, Why Will You
Die Without Christ? Why Will You Die Without Christ?
And He is life, and not only is He life, but life is in His
words. He says, the words that I speak
unto you, they are spirit and they are life. When He speaks
words, there's words of life. And then there's life in His
touch. He touched this leper. That woman with the issue of
blood said, if I may but touch Him, I'll be healed. Life's in Him, life's in His
words, and life is in His touch. Life is like I said in his words. He spoke to a dead man Lazarus
Dead men don't hear Christ But that dead man did and I did I
was dead one time and I heard his voice Lazarus Come forth
and He that was dead Came forth all it had to do was our Lord
speaking That's all it takes for God to save a sinner. Just
speak. Just speak. And may you hear His voice. And
here He gives life to a leper. He gives life to a leper. And
this story is in Matthew chapter 8 and it's in Luke chapter 5,
the same thing. where a leper came to him. Now
I m going to read to you what it says about a leper. I ve marked
it here, you don t have to turn, but it says here in Leviticus
chapter 13, and I ll read verse 45 to you. And the leper in whom
the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and his head bare, and
he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, Gotta have something
over his upper limb. And shall cry, unclean, unclean. And all the days wherein the
plague shall be in him, he shall be defiled. He is unclean. Listen to this. He shall dwell
alone. Without the camp shall his habitation be. He can't be
with or anybody else or around anybody. And that's what he said,
he gives life to lepers. And he was unclean, and I just
read it to you. He got to put a covering over
his lips, got to shave his head. Got to have a rip in his clothes. And everywhere he goes, if he
gets around to anybody, he got to shout ahead of time so people
get out of his way. Unclean! Unclean! He was unclean before the Lord,
He was unclean before the Law, He was unclean to Himself, and
He was unable to do anything about it. He could not change
His condition until Christ, until Christ came, until Christ came.
and wherever the Lord Jesus was, was the power of God. Look here
in verse 33 of chapter 1 here, and this is at Simon Peter s wife
s house door. And all the city was gathered
together at the door, and listen to this, and he healed many that
were sick, of divers diseases, different diseases, and cast
out many devils, and suffered not the devils to speak, because
they knew him, because they knew him. Now here s a man in a miserable
condition. I mean he s in a miserable, miserable
condition. And you know, folks don t know
it, but they really are in a miserable condition without Christ. But
here s a man, and let me, I want you to keep Mark, and I want
you to look in Luke 5 with me. I want you to see this in Luke
5 also. In verse 12, here s a man in
a miserable, miserable condition, a leper, a leper, there came
a leper, a leper. And look what it said here in
Luke 5, And it came to pass, behold, when he was in a certain
city, behold, a man full of leprosy, full of leprosy. If you're a
leper, it don't make no difference how bad your leprosy is. You're
unclean. You have to dwell alone. You
re unclean before everybody and everything, before God, before
the law, before everybody else. And oh, listen, he was full of
leperty who seeing Jesus, and listen to this, fell on his face,
fell on his face. When a man's full of leprosy,
that's the last stage. That means right before he dies.
That means it gets so bad that he is covered with it. His eyes,
his head, and his arms. And if you've ever seen a leper,
you go back and find you some pictures of lepers. There was
a leper colony in Philippi where Paul preached over there, and
we've been dealing with it. And the last leper colony just
closed down here about 50 or 60 years ago. They still had
lepers, and I guess in India and some of these places, they
still have lepers. But I know one thing that leprosy
is catching, and I do know this, that that's why they had to stay
away from everybody else. And his disease had reached its
final stage, full of leprosy. And let me tell you something
men are full of, sin, huh? Sin, whoa, you think leprosy's
bad? Sin is such a loathsome disease,
such a loathsome saying that God Himself had to come down
in human flesh and bury it in His own body to deal with it.
We, every one of us was unclean. We as unclean before the Lord,
we as unclean before the law, unclean before our own hearts,
if we're honest with ourselves. Oh my. And this disease, this
loathsome disease of sin, it may work slowly, it may work
slowly, but I'll tell you something, it's coarse, it's coarse, it's
deadly, and it's irresistible. You can't stop it, you can't
deal with it on your own. And just like leprosy, it poisons,
it poisons the blood. It affects the whole body. It
affects the mind. It affects the words. It affects
the will. It affects the affections. It
affects your walk. It affects you and every relationship
you're in. And I'll tell you that the whole
man is affected by it. And sin affects the heart more
than any place else. And I tell you, the hearts where
the issues of life come out of. And then, oh my, he was a man
in a miserable condition. Miserable condition. I'd like
to find somebody in a miserable condition. I really would. I'd like to see somebody in a
miserable condition. I really would. You know how
long it's been since I've known of anybody that's in a miserable
condition over the condition they're in? When's the last time
you've met a sinner that said, Oh Lord, I don't know if God
saved me or not. You just don't know how sinful
I am. How could God have anything to
do with me? How could God even look in my
direction? Whether you know it or not, I
know it. God knows it. But oh my, look what happens
there in Luke 5 again. You don't have to look at it
there, but it says there, who's seeing Jesus? Who's seeing Jesus? Oh. He saw the most blessed person
he'll ever see in eternity. He saw the Lord Jesus Christ. Seeing, and over here it says,
you know, and going back over to Mark chapter one, but he said
he saw him, he heard him, and knowing him. You know, if you
ever see him, that's evidence that you actually know him. If
you see him, you'll know him. If you see him, you'll know him.
If you don't see him, you won't know him. But if you do see him,
you'll know him. Does that make any sense to you? You'll know who it is when you
see him. That leopard knew who he was when he seen him. And
the scripture said, when he saw him, he fell on his face. fell on his face. If you ever
see the Lord Jesus Christ, and this leper here came kneeling
to him, the other leper in Matthew 8, it says it came and worshiped
him. So if you see him, you fall on
your face. If you see him, you worship him.
If you see him, you kneel to him. If you ever see Him, you'll
know exactly who it is and you'll do what everybody else does that's
ever seen Him. You'll do like everybody else.
And I'll tell you what, how blessed a soul is to see the Lord Jesus
Christ in this miserable, miserable condition. A leper, full of leprosy. And a leper, oh my. His eyes
were filled with despair. He was hopeless. He was without
a friend in this world. There was nothing no one could
do for him. But when he saw the Lord Jesus
Christ, I believe a light of hope come in his eyes. I believe
a ray of light come into his soul. I believe he seen some
place where he could get rid of his despair and his hopelessness
and his helpless. He saw the Lord Jesus Christ. I'll tell y'all a story. I was
in a hospital. I was probably 20 years old,
21 maybe. And I'd been in there for almost
six months. I was in terrible shape, terrible
shape. And this woman came to visit
me. And I mean, you talking about
without hope. I never, I never thought I'd ever get out of that.
I didn't really think I'd ever get out. I said, I'll spend the
rest of my life. It's God. Don't do something
for me. But a woman came to see me. She didn't know God. When I found out later, she didn't
know, but this is what she told me. She said, Donnie, don't give
up hope. There's hope in Jesus. And that
done something to my heart, done something to my mind, done something
to my heart and soul. That's the first day that I'd
had hope in months. Months. I dreaded getting up
in the morning and living that day. I dreaded going to bed that
night so I wouldn't have to just deal with a miserable night.
But when she said, don't give up hope, there's hope in Jesus.
That sparked something inside me. God blessed that to my heart.
God bless that to my heart. And look where I am now. From
those one words, you never know when just telling somebody, don't
be hopeless, don't give up hope. There's hope in the Lord Jesus.
And oh my, no doubt this man had heard of his miracles. Heard of his mighty works. and
heard him preach the gospel. See at the verse before that
says that Jesus says we must go to other towns and preach
the gospel. Preach the gospel. And he believed
what he heard. He heard Christ. He heard the
gospel. He heard about Christ. And he
says, now I want to see for myself. I want to see for myself. He
believed the report. And when he looked and saw the
Lord Jesus Christ, his sight turned into faith, turned into
faith. And I tell you what, when you
find a Savior and a seeking sinner, something's gonna happen. You know, when
a compassionate Savior a blessed Savior, like our Lord Jesus Christ,
the only Savior, and you find a sinner, and they cross paths,
you know what's gonna happen? A touch gonna happen, huh? And
then, oh my. And look at the position this
man took. He saw the Lord Jesus Christ, and then he kneeled to
the Lord Jesus Christ. He worshipped the Lord Jesus
Christ. And then he took, you know, the positions that I told
you about. One fell on his face, one worshipped, and this one
here is kneeling. He kneeled down. Oh, my. seeing the face of the Lord Jesus
Christ coming into contact and into the presence of the Lord
Jesus Christ. The only people who did not bow
to Christ and worship Christ was Pharisees. If there was a
harlot, they come. If there was a publican, he came.
If there was a lost sheep, he came. Whatever, when people that
were in a bad, bad shape, People that had a problem, that was
diseased, that was sick, and leprosy, those are the people
that came. The only people that didn't come
was the self-righteous and the Pharisee and the ones who thought
they didn't need a Savior. Law keepers, reformed people,
people that don't need Christ. But oh my, if you're a leper,
if you're a sinner, If you got a heart that's diseased, if you
got a mind that's just, and you can't say things right and it
don't come out right and your mind's wicked, I tell you there's
only one place you can go where you can get any help. Oh my,
he fell on his face, he got down on his knees. Oh my, I'll tell
you one thing, when you come into the presence of Christ,
one thing you want to do is you want to hide your own face in
His presence. And that shows you your humility. That shows
you that you're just empty. You ain't got nothing to bring
to Him. And hiding the face is an outward
expression of a deep inward conviction. It's like the publican. When
that publican went, that Pharisee prayed thus with himself. But
when the publican prayed, do you know what he did? He wouldn't
even lift up his eyes. He looked down. He said, Oh Lord! Oh Lord! He looked down, Oh Lord! Have mercy upon me! Not that
fella, not this fella, not that other fella, have mercy on me!
I'm the sinner! And every place you find in the
scriptures where people saw the Lord, when Abraham, when those
three men came to Abraham's tent, you know what the first thing
Abraham did? He went down there and fell down in front of them. You know, when Isaiah saw the
Lord high and lifted up, saw His glory, you know what he said?
First thing out of his mouth, said, Oh Lord, woe is me. Oh,
I'm woe, woe, woe is me. I'm undone. I'm undone. I'm a man of unclean
lips. And everywhere I look, everybody's
in the same condition. They all got unclean lips. Job bragged and bragged and bragged
and boasted and carried on. And then one day he said, he
said, Lord, I heard about you. I heard about you. But now I
see you. And I abhor myself. And I'm gonna get down here in
the dust. I'm gonna get in the ashes. I'm
gonna let you know that I am nothing and you're everything.
Huh? Oh, Peter one day, he tried to
tell the Lord about fishing. He wanted to tell the Lord about
fishing. And he was out in his boat, and the Lord Jesus Christ
was preaching. And He said, Take your boat and
go on out there. Go on out there. Cast on out
into the deep. and cast your net over on the
right side. He said, Lord, you don't know nothing about fishing.
You don't know a thing in the world, but I know about fishing.
We fished all night and we ain't take nothing. And boy, when he
throwed that net over there and he caught in so many fish, it
took a whole bunch of them to pick the net up. Do you know
what he said? Oh, Lord. Oh Lord, depart from me. Just
go ahead. Just go ahead and I'm going to
pull back up shore and you get out of the boat and leave me
to myself. I'm such a sinful man that I would think, I would
presume to tell you anything. I'd presume to show you anything. I'd presume to teach you anything. Oh my. If we haven't taken to
the dust in shame and overwhelmed We haven't seen ourselves in
his sight yet. We haven't seen ourselves in
his sight yet. And then look what this man prays.
He has a prayer. He has a prayer. It's not long.
It's not deep. It's not deep. Look what he says. Verse 40, and there came a leper
to him, and this is what I love about it, come to him. come to Him, didn t go to the
law, didn t go to the Pharisees, didn t go to the Church, no,
no, beseeching Him, begging Him, kneeling down to Him, saying
unto Him, and this is all He said, eight words, and He called Him
Lord over in one place, If thou wilt, if you re willing, If you
will, you can make me clean. That's a pretty simple prayer,
ain't it? Lord, if you will, if you will. Lord, if you will, you can make
me clean. This prayer here, this plea from
this man shows us two things, two things. First, he had a knowledge
of the character of Christ. He had a knowledge of the character
of Christ. Lord, oh Lord, his knowledge
made his faith intelligible. He said, Lord, if you will, everything
depends on your will. Everything that I am, and everything
that I have been, and everything that I will be, and where I'll
spend eternity, and the rest of this day and tomorrow, my
whole life depends on His will. And once this man came to Him
and said, Lord, if You will, if it's in Your will, if You
will, I don't question Your ability. I don't question Your power.
I don't question. The only thing I question is,
Are you willing? Are you willing, Lord? I'm unclean. I'm unclean. I'm awful shaped. But Lord, if you will. His faith
was intelligent. He knew to whom He was coming
and knew His power. If I will, if you will, it's
no problem for you to make me clean. It's no problem at all. Oh, the Lord told Abraham, when
he told him he was gonna have a child, and they laughed about
it and thought, whoa, this can't happen. We're just too old. You
know what he said? God spoke to him and said, is
anything too hard for the Lord? Huh? And the first thing, he had a
knowledge of the character of Christ. He knew he was compassionate
and merciful. And the leper had one desire,
this is the second thing, to be made clean. He wanted to be
made clean. He confessed his need. He confessed
his need. I'm a leper. I'm a leper. And he pleads for personal cleansing. I don't know what you'll do for
other lepers. I want you to do something for me. And I tell
you what, the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses, cleanses from
how many sin? How many sin? Cleanses from all
sin, all sin. And look what happens to this
man when he does this. Verse 41, And Jesus I love this
right here. You need to look up in a concordance
one time how many times the Lord was compassion, done move with
compassion. And there came a leper to him,
beseeched him, and Jesus moved with compassion, put forth his
hand. Nobody, if I touched a leper,
I'd be unclean. I'd be in the same boat that
leper was. The moment I touched him, I'd be unclean. But I, Lord
Jesus Christ, reached out and touched him. If I reached out and touched
you, it wouldn't help you at all. Wouldn't do a thing in the
world for you. All you'd do is feel a touch. But when Christ
reaches out his hand, when Christ reaches out his hand and he touches
you, something's gonna happen. Oh, he put forth his hand and
touched him and listened to what he says. He said unto that man,
he said, I will. He said, Lord, if you will, he
said, I will. I will. Lord, if you will, I
will. I will. That's my will. You're
a leper, you're a sinner. Lord, if you will, he will, he
wills, he wills. Oh my. And he said, I will. And listen to what he tells him.
Be thou clean. Be thou clean. And look what
happens now. Verse 42. And as soon as he had
spoken, As soon as he had spoken, I will be thou clean. Immediately,
immediately the leprosy departed from him and he was clean. Every miracle, every saved sinner
is linked to the I will of Christ, to the I will of Christ. Oh Lord,
if you will. Every miracle, every safe center
is linked to the I will of Christ. I come to Him and He said, I
will. I come to Him now, He says, I will. Come to Him for mercy,
He said, I will. Come to Him for grace, I will. Come to Him for strength, I will. Come to Him for forgiveness,
I will. And oh, what a touch it was.
He touched him. He touched him. And the holiness
of God and the righteousness of God and the power of God in
Christ comes into contact with this awful, awful defilement. And here's the thing about it.
Christ was not defiled by touching that sinner. And that's what
it says about in 2 Corinthians 5, verse 21, God made him to
be sin. Now listen to the next word,
who knew no sin, did no sin. He knew what sin's consequences
was. He knew what paid, what was the
cost to put away sin, but he did no sin. He came in contact
with sin. but he had no sin of his own.
He come in contact with a leper and never became a leper. Oh
my, comes in contact with us and yet stays holy and righteous
and just. And oh my, all the power that
God has in the touch of the Lord Jesus Christ. And all that assuring
word, I will, I will be thou clean. And with his touch, comes
His word of assurance. He touched him and then He said,
I will! I will. We're washed in His blood, and
where do we get assurance that we're saved? From His blessed
word, what He says. That's the only place we have
assurance. Not in ourselves, not in our feelings, not in our
words, not in our actions, not in our faithfulness, not in our
obedience. It's in Christ's word. Huh? It's in Christ's Word. And I
tell you, it's complete, complete salvation, complete deliverance.
Immediately, immediately the leprosy departed from him. Well,
where'd this leprosy go? Where'd it go? I'll tell you
one thing, it never bothered him again. He'll never be a leper ever again. never be a leper again. Oh my,
our sins are gone. Never be remembered against us
again. There's three things that God says about our sin. He said
He cast them behind His back. Anybody know where God's back
is? He that inhabits eternity? Can you find His back? And then he said, I blot them
out as a thick cloud. You can't see through that thick
cloud. And then he said in another place,
he said, you know what I'm going to do with your sin? Not only
am I going to throw them behind my back, not only am I going
to blot them out as a thick cloud, but I'm going to take them and
I'm going to go over here in this great, big, deep, deep sea, and I'm
going to throw all of them in that deep sea. What he's telling
us is I'm going to get rid of your sins and they ain't coming
back. not be able to come back and
ever condemn you again. And I tell you this, to me, this
is one of the most blessed parts of this thing right here. He
said in verse 43, And straightly charged him, and forthwith sent
him away, and saith unto him, Don't say nothing to any man,
and listen to this, but go your way, show thyself to the priest,
go back to the law now. Go back to ceremony, go back
to the law. And offer for thy cleansing those
things which Moses commanded for a testimony unto them. Now
let me tell you, I'm gonna read this to you, I'm gonna read something
else to you about this, this cleansing of the leper. And I,
you know, it says here in Leviticus 14, look what it, I'll tell you
what it says about that. He said, And the priest shall
command that one of the birds, he gets two birds, and kills
one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water. And for the living bird he shall
take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop,
and shall dip in the living bird blood, and the bird that was
killed over the running water. And he shall sprinkle upon him
that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall
pronounce him clean, and let the living bird go free." Now,
our Lord didn t say, Go to the law, go back to the priest for
your cleansing. Not what He said. He s already
clean. He said, You go back and offer.
I want the law to look at you Show them and you see the law
and the priest see that you're clean But they'll offer those
two things. You know why they do it because
you clean that's why they offer the blood That's why they offer
the one to go free because you clean he didn't go back there
for cleansing But oh my our Lord came and fulfilled that he set
aside that and I tell you our Lord's work can stand the minutest
inspection and I mean, go to the priest, look me over. I don't
see anything wrong with you. That priest looked him up, looked
him down. Open your shirt, look, no, no.
I don't see a spot. I don't see a spot. And oh, go to the law. Don't
see nothing wrong. Go to the prophets, see what
they have. You don't see anything wrong. The WORLD of the DEVIL! Oh, my! I'll tell you something, when
Christ does the work, He does it GOOD! When Christ does the
work, I mean it's DONE! You know, we like to shake hands
and say, That's a done deal. Well, this here is a DONE DEAL! We're not telling anybody to
do anything. Christ did it all. Why would anybody not want Him
and His perfect salvation? Why would anybody not want their
sins to be gone? Our Father, oh, our Lord, our
blessed Savior, our Master, our Redeemer, the one who loves our
souls and commended that love toward us even while we were
yet sinners. Lord, you died for us. You died
for us. Saved us from wrath, saved us
from condemnation, saved us from the curse. You made us perfectly
whole. We're clean, O Lord, in Your
sight. That one offering's been given.
That one sacrifice that put away sin forever has been offered,
and we bless You for it. Lord, work in the hearts, work
in the understandings, and do something for poor sinners here
that only You can do. We ask these things in Christ's
name, amen. Reach out and touch the Lord. He passes by. He's not too busy to hear your
heart's cry. He's passing by this moment Still
needs to supply. Reach out and touch the Lord
as He goes by. See you tonight, 6 o'clock, God
willing.
