The LORD gave Moses and Aaron the full meal deal concerning leprosy. If one had leprosy, they were unclean. This disease points us to the need for being clean. As Christ has fulfilled the ceremonial law, we realize that, by His robes of righteousness, we are made clean. The LORD reminds us that, as the priests needed to patiently care for each person, we pray for patience as we serve and love our neighbor. “Lord God, thank You for Your robes of righteousness that covers our sin. Our sin shows us our uncleanliness, but by Your grace You wash us clean by Your blood. Help us to come to You to give thanks like the one leper and fill if with Your love. In Christ, Amen”
