raised from the dead – 2 – v2

each of them were healed
of their disease, their affliction;
but what Jesus did was far more than that.
they were raised from the dead
they were not just cleansed
of the leprosy they carried;
they were allowed to enter in
to the temple, into community.

the one who returned,
who stopped to thank Jesus
the one who praised God
the source of their healing,
he was brought within
the community of believers
the one leper was given life
and he was given life eternal.
