A Leper is Made Clean (Mark1:35-45)

In ancient times, lepers were social outcasts and a threat to public health. But on one occasion, a leper broke etiquette and walked straight toward Jesus. Even more surprising, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him. Last Sunday, in our Bible Study Community, we looked at this remarkable story in Mark 1:35-45. In this passage, we learned...

• How Jesus balanced a busy ministry life with private devotion to his Father
• What was Jesus' top priority in ministry?
• A bit of background on leprosy
• A spiritual lesson how Jesus can cleanse each one of us
• The reason Jesus' warned, "say nothing to anyone!"

Thanks for listening. This lesson is part of our weekly median adults Bible Study Community. Our class is aimed at those in their 30s-50s, but all are welcome to stop by the Fellowship Hall at 9am on Sundays at Immanuel Baptist.
