RE: The Gospel of Matthew

in #reliquary7 years ago

This is the first miracle mentioned by Matthew and begins with a leper, leprosy has a sense of sin, filth as shown in the old testament in (Leviticus, chapters 13 and 14), today medical science has found treatments that cure the leprosy, but this does not leave out the important meaning that Jesus implies in this miracle because it reveals the intention to cleanse the people of sin. This chapter shows with great dedication the miracles and power that accompanied the ministry of the Son of God, show a faith in word and in action, they descend to us by the beginning of the formation of faith in their disciples and the obstacles that stopped some and that allowed them to continue growing others, that we can serve with total, surrender, faith, and love to the service of Christ.
