Jesus Cleans (4 of 4)
Series: Plastic Jesus: How Did Someone So Real Become So Fake
Scott Maze
Luke 5:12-26
This is the fourth message in a series, Plastic Jesus: How Did Someone So Real Become So Fake? We've been looking over the shoulder of Luke as he's written his Gospel to communicate to us who Jesus is. We've seen Jesus make His hometown synagogue so angry that they tried to kill Him. We watched as Jesus cast out demons in the town of Capernaum. And we've been introduced to some of Jesus' closest followers as Jesus miraculously provided more fish than two boats could hold. All throughout, Jesus has defined Himself for us - the real Jesus. He has refused to be molded and bended to fit out every whim. Instead, Jesus has been rigid than silly putty and yet more compassionate than us.
Today's Scripture.

And immediately the leprosy left him. 14 And he charged him to tell no one, but ''go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, for a proof to them.'' 15 But now even more the report about him went abroad, and great crowds gathered to hear him and to be healed of their infirmities. 16 But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray.
17 On one of those days, as he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with him to heal. 18 And behold, some men were bringing on a bed a man who was paralyzed, and they were seeking to bring him in and lay him before Jesus, 19 but finding no way to bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles into the midst before Jesus. 20 ...
