The Law of Leprosy

The Lord God sent the horrible plague of leprosy into the earth specifically to be a type of sin. — The progress of leprosy in a man shows us the utter ruin of men by sin. — The cleansing of leprosy by blood atonement and the pronouncement of grace show us God's way of saving sinners through the sin-atoning death of the Lord Jesus Christ, our all glorious Substitute and the pronouncement of grace in the soul by God the Holy Spirit. - In these two instructive chapters (Leviticus 13 and 14), the Lord speaks of the plague of leprosy in men, in garments, and in houses.
