Jesus Cleanses a Leper - Luke 5:12-16

We believe God is the creator of the universe and all therein. So we have no problem with the power of God. Our issue is the will of God. Will God answer my request? Why would He want to answer my request? Who am I? The answer is not about how good or how deserving we are --- I don't think we could qualify. But it is Who God is. God is love too. Jesus' cross had paid the price and removed any obstacle demanded by God's righteousness. So Jesus boldly declares in Matthew 7:7-8, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened". 

We see a real working case in today's bible study Luke 5:12-16

Lesson:

    Like the leper, believers have no problem in the power of God but are unsure about the will of God. Jesus assured us Mat 7:7-8. Our job is to ask and believe and leave the method and timing to God. May the Lord give us peace, rest, and joy in the meantime.
