Leprosy (Hansen’s disease) is one of the most terrible diseases of all time.
Leprosy (Hansen’s disease) is one of the most terrible diseases of all time.
First a patch of skin becomes discolored and numb, usually somewhere on the face.
From there the path may spread and grow into thick, glossy tumor-like welts.
Next the disease advances to the hands and feet.
The fingers and toes commonly shrink and lose their usefulness.
As the external tumors grow, they leak and discharge a very unpleasant odor.
Finally, the disease will work internally, affecting the larynx.
Slowly, inch-by-inch, the victim dies over a span of ten to twenty years
THE SITUATION OF THE LEPER
Would be quarantined ()
Would be ceremonially unclean, and therefore unfit to worship n the house of God (, , ,)
Everyone had to avoid him ()
Had to cry “unclean” whenever someone approached him ()
Leprosy is a type of sin - No cure without God
THE PLEA OF THE LEPER
The Leper came to Jesus (desire)
The leper knelt (humbled)
The leper asked “You can make me clean” (faith)
JESUS RESPONSE TO THE LEPER
He had compassion
He touched him
He was willing - “Be cleansed”
He told him to show himself to the priest as a testimony to them ()
THE RESULTS (Positive)
Immediately he was healed
News about Jesus spread
Others were healed
THE RESULTS (Negative - due to the former leper not obeying Jesus)
Priest were not testified to
Jesus could no longer publicly enter a city
The proper course would have been for the priests to verify the cleansing and announce to the nation the arrival of Messiah

“When people are caught up in legalistic bondage, they view everything as a matter of life and death.
The breaking of the smallest ruling, according to their perverted logic, spells out a lethal offense.
There is very little room for Grace in their ironclad system of dos and don’ts” Logos International Bible Commentary pg 463
