In difficult days and facing dire circumstances, it is always good to remind ourselves that God is greater than all.

Scott Pauley is examining the miracles of Jesus recorded for us in God's Word.

That particular demographic, that group was made up of everything from harlots and wicked immoral people to folks like lepers,

folks with physical maladies and problems that men could not solve. And yet, when you read the

gospel records and when you concentrate on the

miracles of Jesus, one of the things you see is Jesus love for the outcast,

Jesus love for the untouchable.

Today, we're looking at one of those occasions and learning that Jesus loves lepers.
