Description
And a leper came to him, imploring him, and kneeling said to him, “If you will, you can make me clean.” Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, “I will; be clean.” And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean. And Jesus sternly charged him and sent him away at once, and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to them.”
(Mark 1:40-44 ESV)
Leprosy is not a common disease back then, and not just a normal illness. Having leprosy in the community of Israel means expulsion form Israelites community. They will be put outside the community, and are not allowed to be touched for fearing that the illness will infect other people. No one will want to touch them, and they will have to warn people whenever they’re around by crying “unclean, unclean.”
He is a leprous man, he is unclean. The priest must pronounce him unclean; his disease is on his head.
The leprous person who has the disease shall wear torn clothes and let the hair of his head hang loose, and he shall cover his upper lip and cry out, ‘Unclean, unclean.’ He shall remain unclean as long as he has the disease. He is unclean. He shall live alone. His dwelling shall be outside the camp.
(Leviticus 13:44-46 ESV)
So Jesus’ act of healing the man with leprosy is not just a mere healing, but also shows his mercy and willingness to accept someone who is sick and rejected!
Jesus also told him to report back to the priest, just like what Moses commanded in the book of Leviticus chapter 14.

Thanks for the reminder.
Honestly I'll be honest here:I have never read the whole bible not even once, only in children's book and when i read books 7-10(By Arthur C. Maxwell)my hopes got up.
Funny how the bible changes a person huh? I read on how a man can be forgiven no matter what, i changed but changing is hard as well.
Well thanks for the reminder and God bless you, i needed a talk with an old friend anyways.

'No one will want to touch them'... and yet Jesus reached out to touch him both spiritually and physically! The significance of physical isolation is probably lost on us today, unaccustomed to the social stigma of something like leprosy, but it shows how much Jesus loves us and is willing to reach out and heal us, bringing us to him.
Thanks for continuing the series. Really enjoying it. (:

you're right most of people won't understand the isolation
It's really bad, and yeah you're right it's amazing how Jesus is still willing to approach us
Thank you for the encouragement
