Matthew 8:1-4, "When Jesus came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed Him. A man with leprosy came and knelt before Him and said, 'LORD, if You are willing, You can make me clean.' Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. 'I Am willing,' He said, 'Be clean!' Immediately he was cured of his leprosy. Then Jesus said to him, 'See that you don't tell anyone. Go show yourself to the priest and offer a gift Moses commanded as a testimony to them.' "
Commentary: Leprosy in those days, like AIDS today, was a terrifying disease because there was no known cure. Sin is also an incurable disease and we all have it! Only Christ's healing touch can miraculously take away our sins and restore us to real living! Man must realize our inability to cure ourselves of sin. Ask Christ Jesus for His saving power and you will receive!
