EMBRACING "THE LEPERS"
This past Thursday evening Dr. Bob had a rather interesting take on when Jesus heals the man with leprosy in Luke 5:12-16. He drew this correlation between how Americans should embrace the homeless (i.e. "the lepers of our time") in the same way Jesus embraced, loved and healed the man with leprosy in this particular passage.
He noted this one really great quote from Bill Hybels that I wanted to pass along:
"My faith is diminished in direct proportion to the distance I keep from the poor and people of other races."
The question then becomes - how are you valuing, serving and loving the poor, the lepers and the "unclean" in your life?
