A leper. A paralyzed man. A tax collector.

Three people on the margins. Three encounters with Jesus. Three moments that rewrite the rules.

In Mark 1:40–2:17, Jesus doesn't just heal — he challenges everything his community believed about who belongs, who's forgiven, and who gets a second chance. No one's status is too low. No one's sin is too great. And no one is so far gone that they can't begin again.

Jesus is expanding the theological imagination of the people around him — and ours.
