Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. (Proverbs 23)

Communion with Lepers

Some of the happiest experiences have been in churches where all the members have leprosy… More than once I have served communion to men like this where the bread had to be placed in palm of his hand because he had no fingers with which to pick it up, and where the cup had to be held to his lips for the same reason!

Doesn’t this illustrate what our Saviour has done for a dreadfully sick world, doomed to die, separated by the disease of sin from the presence of the Heavenly father?
