There's nothing like the feeling of being clean. And the dirtier you are, the better it is. Now imagine being healed of a fatal disease-- especially of one for which there was no hope and no cure. Leprosy, in Bible times, was just that sort of disease. Only by the grace of God could one be healed. The leper had to admit his need and ask for the priest's mediation. Is it any wonder leprosy is a picture of sin? Praise be to God, He has provided a complete cure!
