Discover how a familiar healing story in Luke 17 becomes a radical challenge to the politics of exclusion. This sermon explores Jesus’ mercy toward ten lepers, his boundary‑breaking welcome of a Samaritan outsider, and what that means for how we think about power, belonging, and justice today.

Warning: This reflection engages directly with the political nature of Luke’s Gospel and the very real religious and social tensions of Second Temple Judaism—it may unsettle comfortable assumptions about where faith ends, and politics begin.
