โSuddenly, a man with leprosy approached him and knelt before him. โLord,โ the man said, โif you are willing, you can heal me and make me clean.โ Jesus reached out and touched him. โI am willing,โ he said. โBe healed!โ And instantly the leprosy disappeared.โ

In those times when a man has leprosy, you are considered an outcast or unclean; people will avoid and slander you. Yet even if thatโs the case, the man with leprosy still approached Jesus, and he told Him, โIf you are willing, you can heal me.โ He didnโt just approach Him; he came to Him with faith, trust, and belief that Jesus can and will definitely heal him. And Jesus, being the Man/God He is, is willing.
This reminds us that no one is ever too unworthy or unclean for Him. Anyone, regardless of their past, their sins, their pain, their shame, or their guilt, can come to Him and receive cleansing and healing. Just like the man with leprosy, faith is not only about believing but also about drawing near to Jesus; in the same way, we must come close to Him if we desire true healing because healing is found not from afar, but only in His presence.
