In Jesus' time lepers were treated as outcasts. So were others who were ill or disabled, due to the same fears and prejudices. But what was Jesus' response? He was full of compassion, healing and acceptance - not condemnation, fear, or rejection. |

A man visited a friemd who was dying of AIDS. He tried to comfort her, but it seemed hopeless. Im lost, she said. I have ruined my life and every life around me. Im headed for Hell. There is no hope for me. Who is that? The man asked, pointing to a framed picture of a pretty girl on the woman's dresser.
