Jesus had healed a man who had a skin disease.
43 Jesus sent him away at once. He gave the man a strong warning. 44 ”Don’t tell this to anyone,” he said. “Go and show yourself to the priest. Offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded. It will be a witness to the priest and the people that you are ‘clean.’ “
Jesus told the man to show the priest and the people that he had been healed. He warned the man not to tell how it happened. Jesus did not want people to come just to see Him do a miracle. He wanted them to believe in Him.
Think!
Jesus is God the Son. How do we know this is true? We know because the Bible told many things about Jesus before He was born on Earth, and they came true. Also, we know because God the Father said so! One day God said, “This is my Son, and I love him” (Matthew 17:5).
Do you believe Jesus is God the Son? Because He is God, He can save you from sin!
You can pray like this:
Dear God, thank You for Jesus, Your Son. Thank You that He came to save me from sin. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
