| A simple story told over only
a few verses packs an enormous message for anyone who ever came to the
Savior needing His touch. Ron DiCianni gives viewers a glimpse into
those verses and how the life of one of society’s cast outs was
changed forever. In The Leper, notice the position the leper
took when he confronted Christ. He fell on his face. He had no options
left in his life, no bargaining power – he assumed the only position
left. His need made him realize the Savior was his only hope. Also, see
the Savior doing what every hopeless case longs for. He did the
unthinkable in that day and age…He touched the leper. That would have
been a giant mistake for any human not just because of the law, but for
the simple reason that this dreaded disease was highly contagious. No
problem though for the one who holds in His hands the “sun of
righteousness...with healing in its wings” (Malachi 4:2). Lastly, note
the hand that Jesus is holding. New, healthy skin is starting to spread
over his body. The leper reached out to the One who heals, and he was a
leper no more.
