📖 Mark 1:41 (KJV) Be Thou Clean


 

Be Thou Clean

 

📖 Mark 1:41 (KJV):
“And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.”

✨ Unpacking the Verse

“And Jesus, moved with compassion”

  • The heart of Christ is tender toward the suffering.
  • He does not turn away from the outcast but is drawn to them.
  • His miracles flow out of His mercy, not just His power.

📖 Psalm 145:8–9 (KJV):
“The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.”

👉 Meaning: God’s kingdom is not built on cold authority, but on love and mercy.

“Put forth his hand, and touched him”

  • Leprosy made a man unclean, untouchable, and excluded from community.
  • But Jesus stretches out His hand to touch the untouchable.
  • His touch does not make Him unclean — instead, His holiness makes the unclean whole.

📖 Isaiah 41:13 (KJV):
“For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.”

👉 Meaning: When others step back, Jesus steps closer. His touch restores dignity and healing.

“I will; be thou clean”

  • Jesus does not hesitate — He is willing.
  • His words carry life, healing, and authority.
  • Healing is not just His ability, but His desire.

📖 Psalm 103:2–3 (KJV):
“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases.”

👉 Meaning: Healing flows from His will. He delights in making us whole, both in body and in spirit.

🙏 Reflective Prayer from Mark 1:41

Abba Father, in the name of Jesus,
I worship You, the God who is full of compassion and mercy. Thank You that when the world steps away from the broken and the hurting, Jesus steps closer. Thank You for the touch of Your Son that cleanses, heals, and restores.

Lord Jesus, I hear Your words, “I will; be thou clean.” I receive Your willingness to heal, forgive, and restore me. Wash me from every sin, every stain, every fear, and every wound. Make me whole in Your presence.

Give me a heart like Yours — a heart that reaches out, that touches the hurting, and that carries Your healing love to those who feel unworthy or forgotten. Let my hands be extensions of Your compassion, my words vessels of Your gospel, and my life a testimony of Your healing power.

In Jesus Almighty name, Amen.

Knowing God and Doing Exploits: A Study on Daniel 11:32

Daniel 11:32 (KJV): "And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits." In a world filled with deception, compromise, and spiritual battles, Daniel 11:32 offers a powerful contrast between those who fall away and those who remain steadfast in their faith.

The first half of the verse ( "And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries" ) speaks about those who compromis...

Despite moments of near destruction, they remained resilient and left a lasting impact on both the Old and New Testaments. Key Characteristics of the Tribe of Benjamin A Warrior Tribe The Benjamites were known for their exceptional skill in battle. Notably, many were left-handed warriors , giving them a unique strategic advantage (Judges 20:16). Ehud , a judge of Israel, was a left-handed Benjamite who used his skill to assassinate Eglon, the Moabite king (Judges 3:15-23). Strategic Location Their land was centrally located, between Ephraim (north) and Judah (south) (Joshua 18:11-28). This position made them influential in politics, trade, and warfare.

Five Ways to Hear God Speak to You

Hearing from God is a transformative experience that deepens one's faith and spiritual understanding. Here are five key practices supported by Scripture that can help you tune in to God's voice: 1.
