Psalm 37:6, Leviticus 13, 2Cor 5:21, 1Cor 15:55-57
Leprosy is depicted as a representation of defilement of sin. The result of leprosy being sin is described as "ugly, disgusting, incurable, and contagious. It also separates men from God in effect, making the sinner a total outcast. Sin was indeed a powerful force.!!
But, as the sunlight spreads radiance throughout the land righteousness spreads forth for everybody. This spread only happens through Christ. So anyone without Christ is a like the leper. And except for the righteous in Christ, he contaminates everyone he comes into contact with. So the righteousness of God in Christ enables us to touch the untouchable as it happened when the leper approached Jesus and said, "Lord, if you are willing, you can cleanse me. When the willing-Jesus touched the untouchable, he was instantly healed. Hallelujah!
This demonstrates that God's righteousness is much more greater and contagious, having the capacity to render the sting of sin null and void, and consequently spreading over all. Hallelujah!
