Cleansing from Leprosy

Let the Christian give heart-felt thanks to God:

If they are healthy, for their health.

If they have escaped a crisis of health, that he has extended their time on earth for his glory.

If they have prayed for healing and it has not come, that he has called them to temporal suffering with the assurance that they will be eternally whole.

Among other things, the cleansing of the leper teaches us that health, or its restoration is a reason to praise God. The reality of Christ's redemption means that even those who are not made well in this life can look forward to being healed for eternity.
