B.E.S.T. Shabbat

"And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean." Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus said to him, "See that you tell no one; but go your way , show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them .""   Mat 8:2-4 (NKJV) Click here to listen to " The True Community of Faith " In these troubled times,  what the world needs to see is a church that looks like Yeshua.  As people try to  distance  themselves from  infection  by avoiding touching others who might be infected, we see  a Savior who was willing to touch the untouchables  and ,   in that touch ,  to heal them.   Leprosy  was believed to be transmitted by touch.
