Behold a Man

Luke 5:12
And it came to pass, when He was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprousy who seeing Jesus fell on his face and besought him saying, Lord if thou wilt thou canst make me clean.

Behold a man
This was a certain city because it would have been true in any city that there would be a man. Christians ought to behold that there are
• Men and
• Women and
• Children
all around them. Behold them and remember that much of what it means to be a Christian is to love them.

Full of leprosy
Leprosy is in the Bible the type of sin.
• Incurable
• Contagious and
• Gruesome

Sin is the burden of every soul.

His was no mild case, he was
Full of leprosy
And so we are no mild cases either. Sin has impacted and injured every realm of our lives.

He met Jesus
And in Christ is the answer to the need of every sinner. If we will only come to him we will find fullness of joy and forgiveness and peace with God and man.
