A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.” Jesus was indignant. He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed. Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning: “See that you don’t tell this to anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.” Instead he went out and began to talk freely, spreading the news. As a result, Jesus could no longer enter a town openly but stayed outside in lonely places. Yet the people still came to him from everywhere.

The concept of unconditional love is pretty mind-blowing. We, humans, love so conditionally, based on what someone does or doesn’t do. But God doesn’t love like that. When you are His child, He loves you because He is love. Let this 3-day plan help you understand even more of the amazing, unconditional love that God has for you.
The compassion of the Lord moves Him to alleviate the distress of those crying out to Him. Because of God's faithful character, He heals you emotionally and physically and empowers you to hold on to hope and stand firm even when everything seems to be falling apart. Remember, you're never alone; God always listens to your voice. Ask Him for what you desire. He never gets tired of you.

Tony Evans gives you a book summary for each of the Gospels in this four-day reading plan, helping you to gain a broader understanding of this important section of the Bible.
Is it possible for us to disagree with one another and still love unconditionally? According to Jesus, the answer is yes. He didn’t come to take sides. He came to introduce the Kingdom of God, a Kingdom that is often at odds with our political views, social opinions, or way of life. Join us for this four-day plan as we learn how to choose people instead of choosing sides.
