Mark 1:40-45 tells the story of Jesus healing the man with leprosy. What's interesting about this account is in the way the man asked his question. He didn't just ask to be healed, he asked Jesus if He was 'willing' to heal him.
It's clear that God and/or Jesus can heal us....but are they willing to?
Any comments?

Is Jesus NOT willing, at times, to heal? It seems that the man knew something in advance, which is why he worded his question in that way.
Originally posted by chaney3Suppose it were you, how would you pose the question to Christ. I would have been like that man .. ask if Christ was willing.. . I would not have demanded. Are you the demanding type?

Originally posted by Rajk999The term 'willing' here, seems to imply 'if you feel like it'. Or something else that the man knew, and we don't.

It seems clear that Jesus picked and choosed who He healed and who He didn't.

Even if that word is a word that anyone might use in casual conversation.
Originally posted by chaney3I dunno .. you have to pray and ask God about that 🙂
Was Jesus willing to heal some, and ignore others?
If so, what does that say about modern day prayer?
You know what my point is, but choose to be arrogant.
Jesus did not come to heal all people of their physical ailments. Hence the reason why he told so many not to tell anyone.
