‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭13:2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “When a man has on the skin of his body a swelling, a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes on the skin of his body like a leprous sore, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons the priests. 

Leprosy was considered a horrible disease back in biblical times and if diagnosed, that person was considered “unclean”. The priest was the designated person to inspect the skin and make a diagnosis. It was a terrible thing to have and people were isolated from everyone else. Leprosy still exists today and more is known about this condition, which on average 100 Americans get each year. 

There is another disease that everyone is born with, sin. It started with God's first creation, Adam and Eve, and has spread like wildfire and taken on many forms. Although we as humans may rate each sin with different severities, God views sin as the same. Yes, your sin is no less impactful than a murderer. Let that sink in for a moment. Kinda puts things in perspective. 

What can you do about your sin? See the Master Physician, Jesus Christ. He lived on earth 33 years and was sinless. Only by the power and strength of God was He able to withstand the temptations Satan presented. And by His grace, mercy, and Holy Spirit, you can battle sin and come clean of this wicked disease that God can't even look upon. Jesus' blood paid your sin debt and He's ready to heal your transgressions. 

If you haven't paid Him a visit, why not do so now so you can discover the healing power of His forgiveness and strength to overcome that very thing that isolates you from God.
