Please read Leviticus 13.

Notice the repeated phrase, “The priest shall look.”
Meditate on verse 34b.
The priest shall pronounce him clean;
and he shall wash his clothes and be clean.
Leviticus 13 contains the criteria for diagnosing the infectious disease called leprosy. It is a condition that starts unnoticeably small and grows to affect and rot other parts of the body. It is a real condition, and it is a poignant picture of sin. Sin infects your life, starting small, but when left undiagnosed and unchecked, grows into a putrid decay that affects you and those around you.
Thankfully you have a High Priest, Jesus the Son of God, who sympathizes with your sinful weaknesses and delights to heal leprosy (Hebrews 4:14-15; Luke 5:12-14; 17:11-19). Humbly come to your Great High Priest and ask Him to look you over and reveal the infectious sin in your life. Ask Him to cut out the sin sickness and make you clean. Hear your Priest say:
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and
the last, the beginning and the end. Blessed are those
who wash their robes, so that they may have the right
to the tree of life and may enter by the gates into the city.
—Revelation 22:13-14
Pray Leviticus 13:34 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD Jesus, You are my Priest.
Look at _________ and me. Stop the spread
of sin in us. Do not let it go any deeper.
Pronounce us clean. We want You to wash
our clothes and make us clean.
Only because of You, Jesus~”
