Many come to Jesus for varying reasons. They may be lame in this area of their
life, or blind in that area. Some may, like the leper, be rotting away. But, still,
their greatest need hasn't changed, which is to be transformed by the word of
God. Jesus is never interested in just restoration. He want re-creation through
