I've not written here for quite awhile! I'm now in Luke chapter 5. Wow. Sorry about the gap.
Luke 5:12-16 is the story of Jesus cleaning the man with leprosy. Lepers in Jesus day were considered the outcasts, the untouchables. People went out of their way to avoid them. Lepers were rejected and shunned by society.
Jesus treated the leper in this story with love, compassion, and acceptance.
Who are the lepers today? Who do we avoid? Who do we consider as outcasts in our day?
As Christians, we ought to reach out to these modern day "lepers" with love and acceptance. They value to God as much as you and me.
