JESUS

"And there came a leper to him beseeching him and kneeling down to him and saying unto him 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 immmediately the leprosy departed from him and he w...as cleansed. And he straitly charged him and forthwith sent him away. And he saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man but go thy way shew thyself to the priest and offer for thy cleansing those things whch Moses commanded for a testiimony unto them. But he went out and began to publish it much and to blaze aboroad 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." Mark 1:40-45

The leper, trusted, he believed, he kneeled down at Jesus feet and honored him. Jesus had compassion on him and healed him. All Jesus asked was that he "tell no man", just go be a testimony to the priests by the law of Moses. But the healed man in his misdirected zeal went and bragged on Jesus all over about what Jesus had done, relegating Jesus to the desert places outside of towns.. Jesus could no more walk freely among man, but people came to him, were drawn to Him.. Even when he walked this earth, men had to go to Him, were drawn to Him because of the disobedience of man. Wow..Things have not changed.
