Sunday 18th May 2025 // Morning // Luke 5:12-16 // The Healing of the Leper

Rev. Craig Lynn preaches Luke 5:12-16 at morning worship on Sunday 18th May 2025 in First Ards. A man covered in leprosy comes to Jesus with a desperate request, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.” What unfolds is a powerful moment of grace. Jesus touches the untouchable and speaks cleansing with divine authority. This passage reveals not just the compassion of Christ, but His willingness to restore the broken and welcome the outcast. It also shows us His quiet strength, as He withdraws to pray in the midst of growing fame. What kind of King is this? One who cleanses, restores and communes with the Father.
