Jesus is a person of faith. Our Jesus healed the leprosy of those afflicted with it by His word. The lepers are remarkable as well; they cried out to Jesus, asking Him to have mercy on them. Faith is clinging to Jesus. Even if there are past sins and transgressions, they seek salvation knowing that, without Jesus, they cannot be saved.
Salvation is obtained through faith. Saving faith is not a single, isolated event but a series of ongoing events. Nine did not return, but only one came back. Faith is continual. Even when healing occurs, problems are resolved, and demons are cast out, it is about returning and bowing before Jesus again.
