God gave very specific instructions on how to handle a leprous person.  Some of those detailed instructions are recorded in this section of Leviticus.  Leprosy is a terrible disease and back then it was usually fatal, but Jesus was able to heal an infected person by just touching him or her.  “And a leper came to him, imploring him, and kneeling said to him, “If you will, you can make me clean.”  Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, “I will; be clean.”  And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean.” (Mark 1:40-42)  God provided a method for cleansing a leprous person then and He provides for us today a method for cleansing a sinful person.  “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:  In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:” (Colossians 1:13-14)
