In today’s text we see Jesus cleansing a leper. But more is happening here than just a healing…as if that’s not amazing enough! Jesus is reversing the unclean-clean transaction. Typically when that which is unclean contacts that which is clean the clean person/thing becomes unclean. However, in this instance Jesus comes into contact with an unclean person and passes his cleanness onto him! This is a huge shift, the significance of which cannot be overstated.
