Luke’s account of Jesus healing a thankful leper is not merely an illustration of the importance of gratitude. Rather, as Alistair Begg explains, it powerfully demonstrates who Jesus is and why He came: not to affirm those who trusted in their family background or religious observations but to rescue the lost. Only those who have a personal encounter with Christ and fall at His feet in praise have truly been transformed by God.
