"Just Like Jesus"

I am reading a book by Max Lucado “Just Like Jesus."

Written on the front cover is: GOD loves you just the way you are, but he refuses to leave you that way.  He wants you to be JUST LIKE JESUS.”  The book is amazing and I encourage everyone to read the book. Max is a great story teller and takes Bible stories and gives us a new perspective on what might be the back story. The story of how Jesus healed the leper gives us insight into the life of the leper and how it felt to be the leper. After Jesus healed the leper Max leads us to how the leper might have felt. The leper thought.. “He could have haled me with a word. But he wanted to do more than heal me. He wanted to honor me, to validate me, to christen me.  Imagine that.. unworthy of the touch of a man, yet worthy of the touch of GOD.”

Powerful words.
