Leviticus 13 is a chapter many skip over, but it’s filled with revelation.

The entire chapter deals with the flesh—and how the priest’s role was to examine it, discern it, and declare when someone was clean or unclean.

The rash or infection on the skin was an external symptom of an internal problem.

The priest’s responsibility wasn’t to shame the person but to discern what was really happening beneath the surface.

The external revealed what the internal was doing.

And just like that—

today, God still uses His priests—pastors, spiritual leaders, mentors, parents—to examine the “flesh.”

Not the literal skin, but the spiritual condition that manifests outwardly through our attitudes, reactions, and choices.

As humans, we resist that process.

We hate the feeling of being examined.

We’d rather hide our flaws, mask the disease, or pretend it’s healed.

But those who are humble—those who truly want to be made clean—will allow the Word, spoken through God’s servants, to penetrate the surface and reach the heart.

Because exposure isn’t rejection—it’s the first step toward healing.
