Imagine not being able to embrace your family or friends. Imagine being untouchable. That's exactly where this leper was. Untouchable.
He was rejected by society and living a life that was hopeless. But Jesus came along.

Verse 3 tells us, Jesus reached out his hand and touched him. This man was unworthy of the touch of man but worthy of the touch of Jesus.
Amazing!!!
