The Miracles of Jesus Christ: Healing a Leper (Part Three)

Bible Study by Martin G. Collins

In the healing of the leper, Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand, touched him, and said, 'I am willing; be cleansed.' Through this act, the physical cleansing of the leper emerged from God's grace, power, and faithful word. Christ's love and mercy shone in His compassion and touch, demonstrating His tenderness and the immediacy of His power. His touch, though seen as defiling under older laws, revealed God's power as the leprosy was cleansed instantly upon contact. The Word of God played a vital role in this cleansing, actively present and essential in God's work. After the healing, Jesus strictly commanded the leper to say nothing to anyone, but to show himself to the priest and offer the required gift as a witness.
