Lesson 2518

(Lesson 2518)(11-11-18) Luke 5:12-15
    “And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him. And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.”
 
 Today’s quote relates that Jesus miraculously healed a man who had been overcome with leprosy.
    It is very important to note that Jesus told the man, “go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them”. That instruction was made so the man would follow all the proper procedures and be on obedience to the Law. By giving the instruction, Jesus too would be in accordance with the Law. Remember, Jesus was a Jew and remained subject to the law until His divine mission was fulfilled.~
