Disfigured, dressed in tattered rags, his face hidden by
rags, a man watches Jesus. His body is covered with leprosy. Risking being
stoned to death, the leper rushes to Jesus and falls down with his face in the
dirt at his feet. Without raising his head, he entreats, “Lord, if you are
willing you can heal me and make me clean.” This leper knows that because he is
dirty to get within six feet of someone who is clean means that he risks death.
Both his determination to come to Jesus and his statement “if you are willing”
reveal remarkable faith...
