Pastor Jack draws from the Old Testament laws concerning leprosy in Leviticus to illustrate how God deals with the bondage of sin in the believer’s life. He unpacks the symbolism of the leper’s cleansing ritual – tearing garments, baring the head, crying “unclean” – as a picture of confession, repentance, and the freedom found in Christ. The two birds in the cleansing ceremony beautifully foreshadow the death and resurrection of Jesus, who died to set us free and rose again to give us new life.
