马太福音-Matthew 8章2节
| 8:2 | 看哪，有一个患麻风的人前来拜祂，说，主啊，你若肯，必能叫我洁净了。 |
| And behold, a leper, coming near, worshipped Him, saying, Lord, if You are willing, You can cleanse me. |
Enlightenment:
Leprosy is a filthy disease. In the Old Testament a leper had to be excluded from the camp of the children of Israel until he was cleansed. This indicates that anyone among the people of God who is rebellious and thereby becomes leprous will be cut off from the fellowship of God’s people until he is healed. The leper here represents the Jews. The Jews have become rebellious against God. Thus, in God’s eyes they are lepers. Nevertheless, the heavenly King came first to them, not to judge them, but to heal them.
亮光
麻疯是污秽的疾病。在旧约里，患麻疯的人必须从以色列人的营隔离，直到他得了洁净。这指明在神的子民中间，任何人因背叛而成为患麻疯的，就要从神子民的交通中剪除，直到他得了医治。这里患麻疯的人代表犹太人。犹太人背叛了神，因此，在神眼中，他们是患麻疯的。然而，属天的王先临到他们，不是要审判他们，乃是要医治他们。
