<div class="SSN_title">"THE LEPROSY CLEANSED"</div>
<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: The mystery of the disease - Dr. Hanson discovered bacillus. Lower animals cannot contract - root Hebrew word - to strike down. Because of unknown origin & insidious relentless progress type of sin. We observe in chaps. 13 & 14 God's interest in welfare of men - cutting off from society those who pose a danger - yet very careful that none be cut off unjustly. Chap. 13 diagnostic - no gleam of hope for one discovered with this disease. Chap 14, law of the leper in the day of his cleansing. Possibility of God doing what man cannot do. Gap between chaps.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. LEPROSY A TYPE OF SIN.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Mystery of its origin.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Still with all of modern science, its origin remains a mystery.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Sin somehow exists in every human being.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Sin is super induced - not in original man - not in Christ - a poison in humanity.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">4. Sin is a spiritual malady - the physical action is but an expression of it.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">5. Is sin inherited? If so, how? Contracted? When? Questions of which I know not the answer, "Fathers after the flesh to chasten us; be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live!"</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. If sin is of the spirit, then some evil baccilus has been introduced to the spirit.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">6. The nature of sin.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. The mystery of lawlessness" (Paul)</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. "Sin is lawlessness" (John) First the admission of the mystery - second the nature is sin. Lawlessness means a revolt against the law.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. The method of its manifestation.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. First stages discovered only by trained eye.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Dr. Turner.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. In a child, the first sign of lawlessness.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. It is always progressing - never halting until whole body is affected.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">C. Symbol - The nature of its effects.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. It excludes from fellowship.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. It renders victim loathsome to fellow man. Self-centeredness.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Conscience hardened - past feeling conscience severed.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">D. Symbol - Its treatment in the law.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Separated not only from man but God - not allowed to come into place of worship.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. THE WAY OF CLEANSING - PASS TO NT. - I FIND LEPERS, I FIND CHRIST.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Never refers to Christ healing a leper. Cleansing commissioned, disciples heal sick, cleanse the leper.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. In law of Moses, <a onClick="return mV('Lev',14,1);">Lev. 14</a>. Two great movements in law of the leper on the day of his cleansing.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Priest goes outside the camp & leads him back.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. The priest within the camp offers certain sacrifices for the leper and anoints him with oil, sets him at the door of the tent of meeting the place of fellowship with God.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">C. In old economy, priest went out to certify cleansing not to cleanse.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Our high priest came not to certify our cleansing but to cleanse.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Christ takes to His own heart this mysterious virus, cancels it, cleanses it by His own blood and makes it not to be.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. First words of new child - "What will you have me to do?" Lawlessness gone!</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">D. Priest offered sacrifices provided by the leper.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Christ offers himself as sacrifice. (Mystery of Godliness.)</div>
