Matthew 8:2 NLT
Suddenly, a man with leprosy approached him and knelt before him. “Lord,” the man said, “if you are willing, you can heal me and make me clean.”
* Notice the difference in attitude between he and rich young man from Mark 10:17-. This guy knows(admits)he is dirty and needs a Savior, needs to be healed ; while the rich kid thought he was righteous before the Lord. He just wanted to know what he was lacking and what he could do. He wanted to be his own Savior. Seeing the need for a Savior precedes salvation. It's not about doing: its about yielding to the work of Christ. Trust in Christ alone, not in your good works.
