We live in a broken world. But there is still order. God still rules.
The priests couldn't heal.
All these regulations.
How could they remember.
But, Matthew Henry says: If we apply this to the spiritual leprosy of sin, it intimates that when we withdraw from those who walk disorderly, we must not count them as enemies, but admonish them as brethren. And I just love that thought. May I treat my enemy as a friend---and a friend gives admonishments, too.
Mark 8:24 Jesus healed the blind man ... but he still could not fully see. He restored the order of health. But the seeing man saw trees and still needed Jesus. So many times, I see "walking trees" and need the power of Jesus to walk aright.
