Jesus Cleanses a Leper

Jesus has the power to make the unclean clean! In Luke 5:12-16, a leper—outcast, suffering, and without hope—falls before Jesus and says, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” And what does Jesus do? He reaches out, touches the man, and declares, “I am willing. Be cleansed.” Immediately, the disease is gone. This moment isn’t just about physical healing—it’s about the deeper cleansing that only Jesus can bring. Just as leprosy separated this man from his community, sin separates us from God. But through Jesus, we can be restored, made new, and brought back into fellowship with Him.

This is the good news of the Gospel! Jesus didn’t come just to heal sickness—He came to heal our souls. His authority isn’t just over disease, but over sin and death itself. He calls us to turn from our sin, put our faith in Him, and be made whole. Just as He cleansed the leper, He offers to cleanse you today. Will you come to Him? Will you receive the healing that only He can give?
