  1. “Just Like Jesus” - A Compassionate Heart Matthew 8: 1-4 “Just Like Jesus” by Max Lucado

  2. A Compassionate Heart Matthew 8: 1-4 • After ‘Sermon on the Mount’ a leper appears. • Lepers ostracized, keep away from crowds, wear a bell or call out “UNCLEAN!” • They were physical AND spiritual uncleanness. • This guy pretty bold to show up in this crowd. • Max L. describes his feelings, makes personal: • … Untouchable! Till today. • Healing never happened! Rise from dead more likely...

  3. A Compassionate Heart Matthew 8: 1-4 • However he felt, he treated Jesus respectfully. • He is confident Jesus can heal… and choose “if you are willing”. • Jesus is willing, and touches him! Shocking! • Touching a leper made you unclean, too… • But NOT Jesus, he made the leper clean! • Why not tell anybody?? Maybe to have him follow the law first?

  4. A Compassionate Heart Matthew 8: 1-4 • Don’t want kingdom misunderstood. • Maybe showing better than telling Jesus IS the good news and the King! • Who do we see or treat as ‘unclean’? • To be more ‘like Jesus’, we should be reaching out to ‘untouchables’. • Be known by our love, our compassion. • Watch God work when you reach out in Love!
