There is no doubt of God’s power, but the question is, Is He willing? This is a deeply important question and one that the Word of God only can possibly answer.
When the poor leper in Luke 5 came to Christ, the one thought in his mind was, Is He willing? When he saw Jesus he fell on his face and begged Him, saying, “Lord, If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.”
The blessed Lord was not long in making His reply. Oh, no! His tender, loving heart was touched by the man’s misery and helplessness, and He stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, “I will: be thou clean.” And immediately he was healed.
Never was there a case of need, whether bodily or spiritual, that Jesus was unable or unwilling to meet. In His presence, and by His love and power, all need was met, whether it was a leper in his leprosy or a sinner in his sins. “I will: be thou clean” was spoken to the leper; “thy sins are forgiven” was spoken to the sinner.
It is always so. The Lord Jesus still says, “Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out” (John 6:3737All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. (John 6:37)).
Is He still willing to save? Come to Him—come and see!
