Lessons From A Leper

Ridgecrest Baptist Church - Sermons

This week, we explore the profound lessons from the story of Jesus healing a leper in Mark 1:40-45. We're reminded of our own spiritual condition - our sin sickness that separates us from God. Just as the leper approached Jesus with desperation, we too must come to Him with urgency, recognizing our need for His cleansing touch. The leper's humble submission and faith serve as a model for our own approach to Christ. We learn that while we can ask Jesus for help, we must also accept His will, avoiding the trap of treating Him like a genie granting wishes. This story beautifully illustrates Jesus' compassion and His power to cleanse and transform lives, encouraging us to trust in His love and mercy.
