Leprosy is a slow and shameful death.  It is no wonder that while Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem 10 lepers from a small village cried out to Him, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” (Luke 17:13). Jesus simply told them to show themselves to the priest, which is what must be done in order to be called clean again (Luke…

Jesus said, “It is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord” (Matt. 4:4, italics added throughout). The full implication of that phrase, “every word which comes from the mouth of the Lord,” can so easily be overlooked. Think about it. For man to live by every word which comes…
