Text: Leviticus 13:1-3

Introduction

• Mark 1: 40-45- Jesus’ meeting with a man who has leprous.
• Leprous in Hebrew means “saraath,” which is a word for beating.
• Sin causes spiritual wounds.
• Jesus says to the man in this text: “I want to, be purified”

• In the beginning there was a small stain.
• Leviticus 13:22
• Illustration. A problem in the foot can cause the lost of the leg.

• The isolation was needed because it could contaminate. Luke 17:11
• The person with leprous needed to stay outside of society.
• Screamed if it was needed: “I am dirty”
• Mark 1:40- The leprous got close to Jesus.
• Leviticus 13:46- The law excluded.
• Jesus included (v.40).
• The same Jesus does in spiritual level.

Conclusion.

• Leviticus 13:45. A tragedy that could reach any person.
• It happened worse with sin, affects all.
• The priests had to write a certificate allowing the person back into society.
• Hebrews 9:22. Our forgiveness’ certificate was written by Jesus’ blood.
• Mark 1:44. The person who was cured from leprous could only go to the priest after being cured and clean.
• Matthew 11:28. The sinner has to go to Jesus the way he is.
• The person with leprous was declared dead and had to live outside of the city.
• The same way happens with a person in sin, he is spiritually dead, even though he is spiritually alive.
• Only a miracle could cure a leprous.
• Let the miracle of salvation take place in your life now.
• Jesus says today: “I want, be purified.”
