The Healing Touch of ChristPavyzdys

Day 1 Devotional The Healing Touch of Christ Three years ago, the whole world found itself facing the global Covid-19 pandemic. The most frightening thing about the original coronavirus was how highly contagious it is and how easily it is spread by coming into close contact with someone who has been infected with the virus. This explains why social distancing and separation were important ways of avoiding being infected with the virus. In the days of Jesus Christ, the disease of leprosy was like that. It was seen as a highly contagious disease that could infect anyone who encountered someone who had been infected by the disease. Because of this, just as it was with the coronavirus today, social distancing and separation were important ways of avoiding being infected with the disease of leprosy. Mark 1:40-45 is a story about how Jesus Christ touched and healed a leper of the sickness of leprosy and, by doing this, Christ, with His salvation, ended the leper’s separation from society. Over the course of this 5-Day Plan, from Mark 1:40-45, we’ll explore how this passage teaches us that, through the gospel, Christ heals us of our spiritual sickness of sin, and with His salvation , He ends our spiritual separation from God.
