JESUS HEALS A MAN WITH LEPROSY

 Luke 5:12-16 / Keywords 5:13

JESUS HEALS A MAN WITH LEPROSY

 

1. I am willing (12-13)

As Jesus was teaching in one of the towns, he was approached by a man

covered with leprosy. Not only did he look hideous and disfigured, he was

considered unclean by Jewish law. He was a person who should not come

near anyone except other lepers. But when he heard Jesus, he saw one who

would be willing and able to make him clean. Jesus healed him, not from afar,

but by reaching out to him, by taking his infirmities. Jesus is willing to bear the

uncleanness of lepers and even sinners. He is willing to heal.

 

2. Show yourself to the priest (14-16)

Jesus gave an order to this man not to tell anyone. He also ordered him to

present himself in accordance with the law to the priests. Jesus made this man

a testimony of God who is able to heal, and willing to bear our uncleanness. This

man is a testimony of God who has come in Jesus. Jesus became a lonely figure

because of this healing. Ultimately, he would suffer all in order to heal us.

 

Prayer Lord, use this sinner as a testimony of your healing love. Thank you for

bearing my sin.

One Word I am willing.
