(Lesson 5325)(09-05-26) 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."
In today's quote, a man covered in leprosy knelt before Jesus, demonstrating his faith that Jesus, if willing, could make him clean. Jesus touched him and immediately cleared away the leprosy, again exposing His divine power over all things. By directing the healed man to show himself to the priest and offer the sacrifices required by the Mosaic law, Jesus upheld God's law while establishing a public testimony of His authority. ~
