Do What You Are Commanded
Jesus told the man to go. But Jesus warned him strongly.
Jesus said, "Don't tell any person about what I did for you.
But go and show yourself to the priest. And offer a gift to
God because you have been healed. Offer the gift that Moses
commanded. This will show people that you are healed."
-- Mark 1:43-44 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
"Do what the law requires!" Two principles are at work here. First, the
man cleansed of his leprosy needs to do what is required to regain the
right to enter into daily public life. Second, his going to the priests
would validate Jesus' authority over disease. Jesus is no charlatan. He
is the comforting, validating, and affirming Lord and Savior we all
need.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Holy God and precious Lord Jesus, help me see what I need to do to show
those around me that you are not only my Lord, but that you want me to
do what is right, good, honest, fair, and just. To you, O God, and to
you, the triumphant Son, I offer you my praise and thanks forever and
ever. Amen.
