Leprosy brought with it exclusion, separation, and shame. It was essentially incurable. Yet the Old Testament detailed a means to be reinstated to society if the priest declares the leper clean. Our sinful hearts are a lot like leprosy and separate us from God. Our High Priest Jesus is willing to cleanse our hearts if we are faithful to come to Him for healing.
Mark 1:40-45
Leviticus 13:45-46

Mark describes a man with leprosy who believed Jesus was powerful but wondered if He was willing to help Him. How many people find themselves in that situation?
Leviticus 13:38-46,14:1-20
Mark 1:40-45
John 14:6
Sermon discussion questions for parents to use with their children:
- Why would it have been hard for the sick man to come to Jesus?
- Why is Jesus so willing to help?
- Why did the man have no questions about Jesus' ability?
- Why do we desperately need Jesus?
- Will He treat us differently than this man?
- What would it be like to see this healing?
