The status of leprosy and the authority of the standing of the diseased leper was in the hands of the priest. The Saviour knew that in a short time the ceremonies of the mosaic law would end. They were only shadows and figures of good things to come, but as long as they were in existence, the man should participate in them, and Jesus also would obey them. The system of the Mosaic institution was ordained by God Himself and should be treated with honor. Friends, the work of the Saviour, the Word of God and the wonder of the miracle were passed from Jesus to the leper, through the leper and to the great multitude of people.
All miracles are for a purpose, and the purpose is to extend the message of the gospel to others.
Jesus still works the miracle of saving sinners.
