Jesus and Leprosy

As you read the laws of Moses concerning leprosy (Leviticus 13:1 - 14:57; Deuteronomy 24:8-9), consider Jesus.

When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean." Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus said to him, "See that you tell no one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them." (Matthew 8:1-4; NKJV).

1. None of us is beyond His touch.

2. None of us is beyond His cleansing.

3. None of us is beyond His willingness to forgive.
