Jesus Heals The Leper
In today’s passage, Jesus is in a town with a large crowd following him. A man covered in leprosy kneels before Jesus and asks this question, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”
Jesus reaches out and touches him. This is a big deal because to touch a leper would make Jesus ceremoniously unclean by Jewish law. But Jesus cared more about the person than breaking any rules. He reaches out and touches the leper, and immediately the person is healed.
Questions:
1. Why do you think Jesus told the leper not to tell anyone of his healing and go directly to the priests?
2. What physical form of humility did the leper show Jesus?
3. What did you learn about Jesus in this story?
