JESUS CARES

“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.”

Mark 1:40,41 KJV

Just as Jesus cared about the leper, He cares about you.  Jesus cares when you are sick and He also cares when you are discouraged and lonely.  He not only heals us physically, He also heals us emotionally.  Jesus has felt every emotion we feel and He understands and He longs to heal you.

Not only does Jesus care about us, our Heavenly Father also cares about us.  He is our Comforter.  “Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God” (2 Corinthians 1:4).

Jesus not only cares about you and wants to heal you; He also wants you to be happy and to have an abundant life.  “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).

We know how much Jesus loves us and wants us to be happy.  He proved His love for us when He died on the cross for our sins.  The question every Christian needs to answer is how much do I love Jesus and what am I willing to do for Him?  Are we willing to spread His unconditional love to everyone we see?
