MFM Daily Devotional Message Wednesday, 10th September, 2025.
Jesus exemplified and demonstrated Agape love throughout His earthly ministry. He received outcasts, the unloved, social misfits and so on. He loved not just in words but also in deed. In Matthew 8:1-4 (our Fire Scripture), a leper went to Jesus, worshipped Him and said, "Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed."
In Israel, a leper is an outcast. Lepers lived outside the city or town and they are usually quarantined, not expected to mingle with other people. They are considered as spiritually unclean and are not to touch the clean or be touched by those who are clean. Therefore, they are treated with disdain, rejected and considered as social misfits. Worse still, the Mosaic Law disfavours them. That is why Mariam had to stay outside the camp for seven days for her leprosy to be removed when she transgressed for speaking wrongly about Moses, the servant of God. As New Testament believers, we should note that sin does to a Christian what leprosy brings upon anyone who contacts it in the Old Testament. We should therefore avoid sin like a plague. Let us also note, however, that in spite of the scriptural stance on leprosy, Jesus, the most loving and self-sacrificing Saviour touched the leper and the man became clean immediately. He was indeed a friend of the sick and defender of the weak, hope of the hopeless and help of the helpless.
Jesus never neglected anyone in need. He imitated the Father by always acting in love. Do you? Besides, Jesus allowed the publicans and the harlots to come to him and they repented. He commended them in Matthew 21:31 and Luke 7:29. Jesus was also a friend to sinful women in Luke 7:47 and John 8:11. Jesus also received with the publicans and sinners. As a result, the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, "This man receiveth sinners and eateth with them." Jesus told His critics that His act was leaving ninety nine sheep and going after one lost sheep. What a wise answer! Do you have a similar passion for lost souls?
The Master expects you to.
