In a story that begins and ends in the wilderness, Jesus reverses everything we expect about purity and power. He doesn’t become unclean by touching the leper—His touch spreads outward, making the condemned accepted, the isolated surrounded, and the untouchable touched. The passage reveals not just a healer, but a Savior who trades places with the sinner so that all might come in.
