How do we know that Jesus can heal the plague of sin?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus’ compassion and miracles, particularly His healing of lepers, demonstrate His authority and ability to cleanse from sin.

The healing of lepers by Jesus serves as a powerful testament to His divine authority and willingness to address both physical and spiritual afflictions. Throughout the Gospels, we see Jesus reaching out to the untouchables, such as lepers, symbolizing His ability to cleanse us from the deeper spiritual leprosy of sin. This healing intersects with the broader theme of redemption where Jesus, the Great High Priest, offers not only physical healing but the ultimate cure for spiritual maladies. The narratives serve to affirm our faith that, as we reflect on our own sin and brokenness, we have a compassionate Savior who invites us to come to Him for healing and restoration (Matthew 11:28). His declaration 'I will make you clean' echoes throughout the ages, reminding us that true healing is available through Him.
