Jesus knows everything about us, all of our faults and weaknesses, even the ones we successfully manage to hide from everyone around us (even those closest to us), and yet still, when confronted by our brokenness, Jesus is constantly moved with pity.
The leper certainly hadn't done anything wrong to cause leprosy, but we've all done plenty of things wrong to deserve separation. But Jesus doesn't separate from us -- he moves towards us in pity and love, seeking to heal the divide. Jesus loves us and takes on our uncleanness, our brokenness, and we are made clean.
Such is the love of Jesus.
Where is there brokenness in your community, in your neighborhood, that you might be tempted to pull back from, and how can you be moved with pity to move towards that in love?
