Season 2: Only the Messiah Could...
Episode 3: “Jesus Could Heal Leprosy”
Today’s Bible Bite: Luke 5:12-16; 17:11-19

Video Story:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzZUDRrKgI8 (Saddleback Kids - Luke 17:11-19)

“Lord, if you are willing, you can heal me and make me clean” (Luke 5:12b).

In Jesus’ day, leprosy was a scary disease to have and it had no cure. Because it was contagious, people who got sick with leprosy were not permitted to live in towns or in homes with their families. In fact, they weren’t allowed to even walk near other people and had to shout, “unclean” to warn others to stay away. People were scared of others who were sick with leprosy because they saw how horrible it was and didn’t want to get sick too. Jesus, however, wasn’t scared.
There are stories in the Bible of Jesus healing people who were sick with leprosy. Sometimes He would touch them in order to heal them, sometimes He just talked to them. No matter how He did it, they all got better! No doctor could do that. This was another proof that Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of God!

Think about it...
  • Leprosy was a scary disease with no cure in Jesus’ day. No one likes to get sick. What scary illnesses can people get sick with today?
  • Lepers were not allowed to live with their healthy families. How would you feel if your family couldn’t spend time together?
  • When sick people heard that Jesus was nearby they would go to Him. Why?
  • Imagine you lived back in Jesus’ day and were sick. Would you want to see Jesus?

Prayer: Thank you, God, for healing lepers of their terrible sickness. Thank you that you showed that we don’t have to be scared of people, but should help take care of them.
