This is the Truth Network. In this podcast, you can expect to laugh and smile with godly men who want nothing more than to honor and glorify God. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the Joyride. Hey Joyriders, it's a new week which gets you a brand new fresh out of the oven Joyride. So this week the guys are discussing the Trinity and I don't have much of an intro this week. You see, I've racked my brain and I've got no skits, poems, no DJs this week. I apologize.
You know, it just it seems like sometimes I look inside my brain and there's nothing there. And somewhere my wife is smirking and nodding in agreement. So let's get on with this week's clip. Oh look, my mom has joined my wife in nodding in agreement.
Thanks mom. This is from Matthew eight. We read that a few days ago and it's from eight one through three. And it says when Jesus came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him. A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, Lord, if you're willing, you can make me clean. Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man and he said, I'm willing, be clean.
And immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy. You know, and I think if you just read that and glaze over what Jesus was really risking. I mean, obviously it was God, but he was risking in man's standpoint that if you touched a leper, you're now unclean.
Ostracides from society. You're right. I mean, he was going to be sent out with the rest of the lepers potentially, right? And he didn't care about that. Because he knew what this man needed more than anything. Yes, he needed his soul redeemed.
I get that the most. But what he needed in his mind was just somebody to touch him. It may have been years since he's been touched. Somebody was willing to risk to touch him. Right. Somebody that wasn't another leper.
Right. I mean, Jesus in a way risked everything from the world standpoint to give this man what he needed. And just an incredibly kind act of God as you look at that to say, man, I know his heart needs this touch. Yes, he needs me in his life. But he needs this from a human, from what he sees as a human, to have human touch that touches me that hasn't done that before. And I just think it's an incredible story of the compassion and the kindness and the wisdom of Jesus as he dealt with people.
Because I'm sure it was a very, very trying time, you know, as he was walking from town to town and going through all that. You guys are shaking your head. And other than a few rattles, we can't really hear anything. You're just in agreement, man. Okay. Well, at least you're shaking your head in the right direction. I'm going to do that.
I'm going to do that. I'm going to shake my head wrong like you got it wrong. And then you'll be really blown away.
I probably won't pay any attention. I had an epiphany, and I'm going to interrupt and be rude, but that's who I am. Do you have to excuse yourself?
No. When you had the epiphany? When you said that, I was thinking, was there anyone that wasn't eternally touched when Jesus physically healed them? And then from there, I went to a verse that's always bothered me, that Jesus could not do much in his hometown. And is it possible it's because he knew they wouldn't believe in him, so he didn't?
Yeah. That's a good point. It seemed like a real flash of wisdom, and I don't get those very often. They'd be on the smaller side of an epiphany. But it's still an epiphany. It's kind of like on the greatness scale. It's an epiphany scale. A little epiphany. Right. So from the guys at Masculine Journey, I'm Keith, and we'll see you down the road.
