40 A leper came to Jesus, begging him, kneeling down to him, and saying to him, “If you want to, you can make me clean.”

41 Being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him, “I want to. Be made clean.” 42 When he had said this, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean. 43 He strictly warned him, and immediately sent him out, 44 and said to him, “See you say nothing to anybody, but go show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”

45 But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to spread about the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was outside in desert places: and they came to him from everywhere.

Mark 1:40-45 - World English Bible

Mark's gospel presented a remarkable scenario: one shunned from society who dared to defy a cultural taboo for a favor. In Mosaic law, a leper suffered quarantine until the disease ran its course; only then could the outcast return to his former place. In this case, sick man broke the wall of separation, seeking a cure. Even more remarkable, Jesus violated the Law by touching the leper and healing him. Two men violated a divinely-given edict to prove to the religious elite that God worked in the lives of people, despite their place and power. But, the former outcast did not deliver the testimony to the leaders; instead, he evangelized others.

Evangelization is not our efforts to bring others to Christ. No, like the leper, we simply share the Good News of God's activity in our lives and let the Spirit do the rest.

What has God done in your life recently? How have you shared that moment with others?
