There is no doubt of God’s power, but the question is, “Is He willing?” It’s an important question and one that only the Word of God can possibly answer.
When the poor leper came to Jesus, the thought in his mind was, “Is He willing?” When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face, imploring Him, “Lord, if Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.”
The blessed Lord was not long in making reply. Oh, no! His loving heart was moved in the presence of the man’s misery and helplessness, and He stretched forth His hand and touched him, saying, “I will: be thou clean.” And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
Never was there a case of need brought to Jesus, whether a need of body or of spirit, that He was unwilling or unable 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 the answer to the leper; “thy sins are forgiven,” to the sinner. It is ever, “Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise [no way] 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)).
