  1. Matthew 8:1-4 The First Healing Story

  2. Introduction • First healing story • Leper healed

  3. Language • V.1 – “came down the mountain,” 5The LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. Gen. 11:5 NAU) • 8 "So I have come down to deliver them from the power of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite. (Exod. 3:7-8 NAU)

  4. Language Continued • Leper – Ex 4:6-7 (God heals) 6 The LORD furthermore said to him, "Now put your hand into your bosom." So, he put his hand into his bosom, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous like snow. 7 Then He said, "Put your hand into your bosom again." So, he put his hand into his bosom again, and when he took it out of his bosom, behold, it was restored like the rest of his flesh. (Exod. 4:6-7 NAU)

  5. Leprosy in Jesus’ Day • Any skin disease • Scariest of all afflictions • Placed outside the community • Leviticus Chapter 14

  6. Biblical Points 4 And Jesus said to him, "See that you tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them." V. 4 – Don’t tell anyone V. 4 – Following Mosaic Law

  7. For us Today • Courage • Leper had the courage to find Jesus • Outsider • Moved through the crowd • Risk of death by the crowd

  8. For us today continued • Courage during the first 300 years of Christianity • Courage today? • Perhaps our “standards” to become a part of the faith are too easy? • Easy is not appreciated • Cultural example – American Express card in 1980’s • Solutions?
