1) Jesus demonstrates that He is willing. He touches the leper, which is against the Law. Jesus is teaching by saying AND by doing. The Law had a purpose. The purpose was to lead us to the Messiah. The Messiah arrived. It was time for the Messiah to take His rightful place in people’s hearts and minds. 2) Galatians 3:24 states, Therefore the Law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. Now our faith in Jesus makes us right with God. Instead of fighting this, after receiving this, we should enjoy this. 3) Don’t tell anyone: Why? Because there is a Divine time and place for every single share and testimony. Following the commands of Jesus is more important than testimony, even if the command is to be quiet. 4) Jesus wanted this first testimony to be to the priests. They couldn’t deny that this man was a leper. With the reduced hype of all the people around, they would have to respond to the manifest power of God.
