TEXT: Mark 1:40-45
INTRO: As one reads the Gospels, it quickly becomes apparent that the earthly ministry of Jesus was a people centered ministry. (Luke 19:10) (Mark 10:45). Jesus came into this world with the cross and Calvary in His heart and on His mind. He was literally born to die! Jesus will interact with anyone who will take the time to be with Him! In this passage, Jesus is in the middle of a tiring and trying time of ministry. In the midst of His preaching and teaching ministry in Capernum, He is interrupted by a single man, a leper.
