Leprosy was a dreaded, but misunderstood disease. The
illness we call leprosy is actually “Hansen’s disease,”
a sometimes fatal but non-contagious ailment. Yet,
quarantine was the treatment for those in the past. A
leper dared to break that quarantine so he could receive
a cure from Jesus. By breaking that taboo, both the
leper and Jesus became unclean. By breaking that taboo,
both did the will of God.
