Day 6 : Mark 1:40-45
A Man with Leprosy
A Man with Leprosy
Leprosy was an infectious skin disease for which there was no cure and those who had it were not able to mix normally with other people. It was considered a great risk for an unrecognised teacher such as Jesus to touch this man or have any contact with him and the religious leaders would think Jesus was breaking the Jewish law (Leviticus 13:45-46 if you want get into it) But Jesus often broke with convention so that he could bring the good news of the kingdom of God to ordinary people.
Why didn’t Jesus want the man to go around telling everyone about his healing from leprosy?
Are there ever any times when it is better not to speak out about what Jesus is doing in your life?
