Jesus touched him

My Sunday Scripture 2009.2.15

A leper came to him (and kneeling down) begged him and said, "If you wish, you can make me clean." Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand, touched him, and said to him, "I do will it. Be made clean." The leprosy left him immediately, and he was made clean. Then, warning him sternly, he dismissed him at once. Then he said to him, "See that you tell no one anything, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed; that will be proof for them." The man went away and began to publicize the whole matter. He spread the report abroad so that it was impossible for Jesus to enter a town openly. He remained outside in deserted places, and people kept coming to him from everywhere.

Saint Mark 1,40-45.

My reading notes:
-------------------

We do have sickness on earth. I can not explain this, though I could understand,
if there were no sickness, no evil, no bad things on earth, what would happened?
Bad things are necessary, and are part of the whole development.

Some were born with a difficult skin disease, and some were born with numerous
deflections. Actually, every single human being are born with some bad elements.
None of us are totally perfect without deflection. And we could die also.

The problems are: How are we to live through all these?

Can I live on with some or lots of deflection?

Now Jesus stretched out his hand.

What did Jesus give us?

A healing? may be. But on top of the healing, was Love.

Love is what Jesus had given us. He had brought love into the world.

With this special thinking power, we can handle ourselves and the
world properly.
