When sin isolates and defiles, only one touch can make you whole. In today’s devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster uses the biblical picture of leprosy (Matt. 8:1–4; Lev. 13) to show how sin spreads in our lives—and how only Jesus’ compassionate touch can heal our deepest wounds and restore fellowship with God.🔹 In this episode you’ll discover: Why leprosy in Scripture is a vivid picture of sin’s depth and spread (Lev. 13:1–8, 45–46). Sin’s slippery progression: “Sin spreads like leprosy” (Lev. 13:8). How sin isolates us—cutting us off from community and communion with God (Lev. 13:45–46). The only remedy: coming humbly to Jesus, confessing our sin, and trusting His power to cleanse (1 John 1:9; Matt. 8:3). Practical steps to examine your heart, confess your sins, and accept Jesus’ forgiveness today.🛠 Next Steps: Reflect: What “plague” of sin has crept into your life and begun to isolate you?
