Jesus Heals the Hopeless - Matthew 8

 • Pastor Kevin Schaal • Series: Matthew Through Jewish Eyes

In Matthew 8:1-4, we witness an unforgettable moment—a man covered in leprosy, isolated and hopeless, boldly approaches Jesus. His body ravaged by disease, his soul marked by desperation, this leper falls at the feet of the only One who can heal him. And Jesus does the unthinkable... He touches him. This powerful sermon explores: ✽ The hopeless condition of leprosy and its connection to our spiritual brokenness ✽ The humble approach and desperate faith of the leper ✽ Jesus' compassionate response and His willingness to cleanse ✽ How Leviticus 13-14 and Isaiah 53 point directly to Jesus as our Healer and Savior Leprosy was more than a physical disease—it symbolized the deeper spiritual sickness that affects us all. Just like the leper, we can’t cleanse ourselves. But there is One who can. And He is willing.
