Lesson 3367

 (Lesson 3367)(03-23-21) Luke 5:12-16

    “ 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. And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.”

    Today’s lesson relates that Jesus continued His miraculous healing of the sick as He preached about the coming kingdom of God.

    It is important to note that Jesus told the leper to go to the Rabbi and to follow the Law of Moses by making an offering for his cleansing. 

    Jesus was bound, as were all Jews, by the Laws of Moses until He completed His divine mission, fulfilling the Law for all who would believe in Him.~
