Scripture

“This will be a public testimony that you have been cleansed.”

Observation

Jesus and the crowd go down the mountain, where a leper asks Jesus to heal him.

Jesus reaches out and touches him and then commands the man, “Be healed.” Jesus then tells the man not to tell anyone, but instead to go to the priest for examination and make the offering required by the law of Moses.

Application

We should all have a testimony about Jesus that we can share in public, that is with our family and friends. For this man, the testimony was to obey the law of Moses for cleansed lepers. No doubt he would get to tell the priest about Jesus.

The man born blind had a very simple testimony, “I once was blind but now I see.”

What has Jesus done in your life?

How does that work out in everyday living?

Your salvation should change your words, your deeds, your reactions, and your interests. This does not necessarily happen immediately, but faith in Jesus does bring great changes in our lives .

One touch from the Lord changed this man’s life forever. One touch from the Lord will change your life forever.

Prayer

Lord, I thank you for the power of the name of Jesus. You are still changing lives. Please make my life what you want it to be. Amen.
