Summary

Jesus encounters a leper who makes a very faith-filled statement: "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean." Jesus tells him that he is willing, and he heals him of his leprosy. Despite this Messianic secret that Luke says Jesus is not yet fully revealing, the word continues to spread about the authority and wonders that Jesus has demonstrated. Most people won't come near to a leper for fear that they will contract the leprosy. But Jesus is willing - and not only willing, he is able. When Jesus comes near, the leprosy doesn't infect Jesus - Jesus invades the leper.Have you understood and believed the truth that this leper has learned? That if he is willing, Jesus can make you clean? Or do you still feel at times like you are too far gone? That if he only knew what you had done, he would draw back in disgust? Do you look on from the outside assuming that Jesus' pardon and healing is for others whose lives are mostly put together and just need a little touching up - but certainly not for a mess like you? No matter who you are and where you come from and what you've done, he can make you clean. Come to Jesus and hear him say, "I am willing. Be clean." He is not afraid to come near you. He's not going to catch what you have. You'll catch him, and it will turn you upside down.

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight Unknown Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a late 14th-century Middle English alliterative romance outlining an adventure of Sir Gawain, a knight of King Arthur's Round Table. In the tale, Sir Gawain accepts a challenge from a mysterious warrior who is completely green, from his clothes and hair to his beard and skin. The "Green Knight" offers to allow anyone to strike him with his axe if the challenger will take a return blow in a year and a day. Gawain accepts, and beheads him in one blow, only to have the Green Knight stand up, pick up his head, and remind Gawain to meet him at the appointed time. The story of Gawain's struggle to meet the appointment and his adventures along the way demonstrate the spirit of chivalry and loyalty. (Wikipedia) This 20th Century rendering is by WA Neilson. Epics and Romances of the Middle Ages by Wilhelm Wägner (1800 - 1886) LibriVox This volume contains the principal hero-lays of the six great epic cycles of the Teutonic Middle Ages: The Langobardian Legends, the Amelung and Kindred Legends; Dietrich of Bern's Adventures; the Nibelung Legends; the Hegeling Legends; and Beowulf. To them, the author has added the great mythical Carolingian cycle, which centred round the persons of Charlemagne and his heroes, and the Breton ones of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, as well as the legend of the Holy Grail.
