Jesus Cleanses 10 Lepers
Recently Pastor Justin Holcomb, Director of the Resurgence, gave this sermon on a Sunday at Mars Hill Ballard so we wanted to make it available here.
About
When have you been in desperate need and got relief? How did you respond? As Jesus walks toward Jerusalem, he encounters ten lepers who suffered physically and psychologically and were social and religious outcasts. He had compassion on them and healed them, giving them the relief they longed for. Yet only one came back to thank Jesus.
We are all spiritual lepers. However, the Father’s unfathomable love for us compelled him to send his Son to heal our horrific condition. The atoning death and victorious resurrection of Jesus restore those who have faith in him.
