Matthew 8:2-3 (NKJV) 2 And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, \u201cLord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.\u201d 3 Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, \u201cI am willing; be cleansed<\/span>.\u201d Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.<\/p>\n

Jesus did something very interesting in the healing of the Leper.<\/p>\n

The verse above says, He touched the leper.<\/p>\n

Individuals that were afflicted with Leprosy were required to isolate themselves from the community signifying their unclean condition. They were not allowed to be close to others.<\/p>\n

The priest would be the one to examine them and pronounce them Leprous or \u201cunclean”.<\/p>\n

Leviticus 13:3 (NKJV) 3 The priest shall examine the sore on the skin of the body; and if the hair on the sore has turned white, and the sore appears to be deeper than the skin of his body, it is a leprous sore. Then the priest shall examine him and pronounce him unclean.<\/p>\n

Jesus putting out His hand and touching him is critically important. This showed His authority over both disease and The Law.<\/p>\n

He balanced out His authority over the law with His commitment to the law by telling the leper to go and take himself to the priest after Jesus healed him.<\/p>\n

Matthew 8:4 (NKJV) 4 And Jesus said to him, \u201cSee 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<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jesus Christ not only demonstrated His authority over disease, but also the fact that He wants <\/i>to heal our sicknesses or diseases.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t matter what might have caused our sickness, or what kind of sickness we have. Have faith in Him today to bring healing.<\/p>\n

He has the authority to heal every<\/i> kind of sickness, and He is willing to heal those who have been stricken with such illnesses if we will just let Him touch us.<\/p>\n

Dear Father in Heaven,<\/p>\n

We come to You today and trust that you are able and willing to heal us from our sickness. We repent of our sins and ask You, Lord, to touch us, just like you touched the leper and removed this disease from him. We are grateful for all You do for us and we give You thanks for always being here. You never leave us nor forsake us.<\/p>\n

In Jesus Christ of Nazareth\u2019s name we pray. Amen.<\/p>\n
