Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down

to Him and saying to Him, If You are willing, You can
make me clean. 41 Then Jesus, moved with compassion,
stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to
him, I am willing; be cleansed. 42 As soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was
cleansed. 43 And He strictly warned him and sent him away at once, 44 and said to him, See that you
say nothing to anyone; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing those
things which Moses commanded, as a testimony to them. 45 However, he went out and began to
proclaim it freely, and to spread the matter, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter the city, but
was outside in deserted places; and they came to Him from every direction.

Does Your Life Reflect What You Say You Believe?

Jesus says in Matthew 7:21, Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of
heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Jesus makes a distinction between fans and followers by contrasting the word says with the word
does. We live at a time when we have become increasingly comfortable with separating what we say
we believe with how we live. We have convinced ourselves that our beliefs are sincere even if they have
no impact on how we live. Let me give you a few examples of this mentality.
If I did a survey and asked Americans, Do you believe its important to eat right and exercise? Most all
of them would say, Yes, I believe that! Americans overwhelmingly say their health is important. But the
most popular food at state fairs is a bacon cheeseburger with a bun made out of two Krispy Kreme donuts. Youre charged extra if you want chocolate covered bacon. Heres another example. A man might
say, I believe in the importance of family. Nothing matters more to me than my family. But if he turns
around and accepts a higher paying job even though it will require more time away from his family, he
has revealed what he really believes.
We are saved by the grace of God when we believe in Jesus and put our faith in him, but Biblical belief
is more than something we confess with our mouths; its something we confess with our lives.
Someone who likes the idea of Jesus may say, Lord, Lord, but wont live Lord, Lord. You say, I am a
follower. I hear you, but when is the last time you fed the hungry, clothed the naked, visited the prisoner? You say, I am a follower. Well thats great, but what do you do when things arent going your way?
What do you do Christ and His standards come into conflict with your life? I said all that to say this, a
belief is more than what we say.
People who just like the idea of Jesus confuse their feelings for faith. But your feelings arent faith until
they are expressed.
This year, make it your resolution to live out what you say you believe. Follow God. Feed the hungry.
Clothe the naked. Visit the afflicted. God is good, place your trust in Him.
