When I hear the phrase that ends this Sunday’s scripture passage, “Your faith has made you well,” I often find myself wondering about the other messages that might be implied by these words. Has my lack of faith left me un-well? Is God gracious (only) because I’ve believed? Digging into the story of the healing of ten people with leprosy in Luke’s gospel, we find a message that’s quite to the contrary: grace comes always. And, when we look to people who’ve been pushed to the margins of our communities, we find examples of faithfulness that has the power to change everything for us.
