The Contagious Holiness of Jesus

Jesus' holiness is contagious and can transform those who are considered unclean. He reaches out to an unclean man with a skin disease, defying social norms, and touches him, demonstrating that his holiness is not threatened by uncleanness. Instead of becoming unclean himself, Jesus transfers his holiness to the man, cleansing and transforming him. This challenges the prevailing cultural understanding of holiness and sin, showing that God's presence is not limited to a specific space, but can be experienced by anyone. This story reveals Jesus as a powerful and compassionate healer who moves towards those who are considered impure and offers them transformation.
