Sahara Bâ Program 16:

Hope for a Proud Leper

         Do you know anyone who has leprosy?  Long ago leprosy was a disease that caused people to become outcasts and considered unclean.  Lepers were not allowed to eat with others, or to have any contact at all with others.  But leprosy is a disease that shows no favorites.  A man could be the richest man in the town one day.  But if by no fault of his own he were to contract leprosy, he would be forced to live out on the street, suffering from not only this illness, but also the shame, and loneliness.  If the richest man caught this disease, I am sure that he would be willing to give all the money he had to get his health back.  But the sad news is that in the times of the prophets, no amount of money could cure a person from leprosy.  Only Irôw could do it.  Thanks be to Irôw, today there is medecine to help those who have leprosy.  The sooner someone suspects that they have leprosy and can get to the hospital to begin treatment, the better their chances for recovery.

            Our story today from Irôw’s Book the Tawrat is about a man who lived long ago, who heard about the True Irôw who could heal him from his leprosy, without medicine for leprosy that had not yet been discovered.

For more information, read the second Book of the Kings 5:1-19 in the Book of Îrôw.
