Welcome to Calvary's Online Campus!

Dive into Mark 1:35-45, in this in-depth Bible study, where we explore the story of Jesus cleansing a leper and its profound spiritual significance. This sermon unpacks how leprosy in the Bible serves as a vivid metaphor for sin, illustrating its destructive nature and the hope found in God's grace and mercy through Jesus Christ.

What You'll Learn:
1. The Reality of Leprosy in the Ancient World: Understand the devastating physical and social effects of leprosy, a disease that isolated sufferers and was seen as a curse. Learn how lepers were separated from their communities and forced to declare themselves “unclean.”

2. Jesus’ Compassion and Power: Witness Jesus’ heart of compassion as He touches and heals the leper, declaring, “I am willing; be cleansed.” See how His actions point to the ultimate cleansing from sin through His sacrifice.

3. Following Jesus’ Example: Explore how Jesus sets the example for us in prayer, obedience, and purpose, as seen in Mark 1:35-39, and how we are called to walk as He walked (1 John 2:6, John 13:15, 1 Peter 2:21).

4. The Hope of Forgiveness: Be encouraged by scriptures like Psalm 103:10-12, Isaiah 1:18, and Micah 7:18-19, which remind us that God’s mercy removes our sins as far as the east is from the west.

This teaching is perfect for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of God’s Word, the nature of sin, and the transformative power of Jesus’ love and grace. Whether you’re a new believer or a seasoned Christian, this message will inspire you to reflect on your walk with Christ and embrace the cleansing He offers.

We pray that you are blessed by the message!
