All of us have some kind of weaknesses and fears. That is one of the problems of being human.
We can either do nothing about them and let them control our lives.
Or we can face those weaknesses and fears and try to control them and even overcome them.
When Jesus saw that man covered with leprosy approaching Him, He could have avoided him.
But He let the leper come before Him and He even stretched out His hand to touch him and cured him.
It was out of great love for the sick and the afflicted that Jesus did what He did.
He showed us that with love, we too can overcome our weaknesses and fears.
He also showed us that He came to heal us from the leprosy of sin and to cleanse us so that we can love again.
We cannot overcome our weaknesses and fears, and much less overcome the world, by our own strength and efforts.
We need Jesus to help us. We need Jesus to save us and to help us overcome our sinfulness.
