Leviticus 13: 1-2, 44-46
Psalm 32: 1-2, 5, 11
1 Corinthians 10: 31 - 11: 1
Mark 1: 40-45
In the time of the Old Testament, physical imperfections were viewed as a indication of a lack of full holiness. And those who had physical limitations or noticeable illnesses were commanded to live apart from the community, so as not to 'pollute' or make the others impure. Notice what Jesus does to the leper: he touches the man. He reaches out to overcome the debilitating alienation and restores the man to his place in community. The healing may be physical, it was certainly spiritual and relational, too.
- Is there a relationship in your life that is in need of healing?
- Is it your will that it be healed?
- Who or what groups do we treat as outcasts today?
The final Mystagogia meeting will be at 10:45am in Room 214 of the CARE Center.
