The Ten Lepers

Social distancing and self-isolation are nothing new; these were the reality for lepers in Bible times. The event concerning the ten lepers took place while Jesus was making his final journey to Jerusalem, a journey which would end at the cross. Such lepers were defiled, disfigured and separated from God's people, but Jesus brought hope and healing for them. He can do the same for us if we face up to the reality of sin, a disease even more serious than leprosy.
