3: The manner in which Jesus healed people was never a requirement. He could heal without touching someone. He could heal people over great distances. But, in this case, he touched the leper. One cannot help but think that Jesus did this for purely illustrative reasons. Leprosy is an illustration of sin. So, if Jesus could touch the sin-filled person, and yet heal, rather that contract the disease as well, it shows that he has the power to remove sin. Indeed, he took all of our sin upon himself on the cross and got rid of it through the plan of the Father. He can still do this today.
