How do we know that Jesus is willing to save sinners?

In the narrative of Mark 1:35-45, Jesus' interaction with the leper is a strong testament to His willingness to save. When the leper approaches Jesus, he asks, 'If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.' Jesus answers with immediate compassion and action, 'I will; be thou clean.' This demonstrates not only Jesus' ability to heal but also His eagerness to forgive and restore the sinner. Throughout scripture, this theme recurs, showing that God's desire is for none to perish but for all to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Therefore, the willingness of Christ to save is evident in His actions and teachings.
