Ten Were Healed – Only One Came Back
1. Only one broke the Levitical law about quarantine.
2. Only one understood what was happening to them in a deeper
sense.
3. Only one went from lamenting to thanksgiving and praise.
4. Only one who came back was a Samaritan.
It wasn’t Suzy Sunday School or Deacon Doug who truly understood (got
it). It was the Samaritan! The guy that had no business at Jesus feet, but he
was the only one who did.
5. Only one saw the difference between being healed and being whole.
Nine lepers were so intent on following the law, but the one, who turned around
and came back, saw a significant difference in his mind and heart. Clearly in
the mind of Jesus there is a difference between being healed and being
made whole.
Always come back to Jesus with a grateful heart. Amen?
