Lesson 26~Jesus heals a leper

Mt. 8:2-4/Mk.1:40-42/Lu.5:12-13

When Jesus went into a certain city, a Leper came and bowed down in front of him, and said, "If you wish, you can heal me."Because Jesus had love for the man. He did something that no one was to do. For it was believed that you would get this illness if you touched it.  In love, Jesus reach out and touched him and said, "I wish, be healed." Right away,  the leprosy left his body & he was healed. Jesus told the leper not to tell anyone that Jesus had healed him." Instead go to the priests and show them that you are healed. Then give a sacrifice to God as Moses had told your people to do. In doing that, you will be giving God the praise for this healing in front of the priests."

But the man went out and told many people anyway. This made it where Jesus could no longer let it be known when he went into the city. So Jesus had to preach in the desert places. But people came to him anyway to hear him preach and be healed.
