When Jesus came down from the mountain side,large crowds followed Him.A man with leprosy came and knelt before Him and said, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean."
Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man." I am willing", He said." Be clean!" Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy.
Matthew 8:1-4
Leprosy was a terrifying disease because there was no known cure.In Jesus' day the word leprosy was used for a number of similar diseases, and some forms were contagious.The leper had to stay away from his home and city.
When the leper begged Jesus to heal him, Jesus touched him and healed him.
Sin is also such a disease.And we all have it.
Only Christ's healing touch can miraculously take away our sins.
Be like the leper. We have to submit ourselves to Jesus' authority.
Jesus will save and redeem us from all diseases and sins.
