TRUTH: Jesus will go to great lengths to serve His neighbor

Jesus steps into our mess by…

1. Having a willing heart
Mark 1:40 :: And a leper came to him, imploring him, and kneeling said to him, “If you will, you can make me clean.”

2. Having empathy
Mark 1:41a :: Moved with pity,

3. Extending personal touch
Mark 1:41b :: he stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, “I will; be clean.”

4. Trading places with us
Mark 1:45 :: But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in desolate places, and people were coming to him from every quarter.
