How do you show Jesus your thankfulness? Let's look at one story of thankfulness found in
Luke 17:11-19
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 SS 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. and clearly in the mind of Jesus, between
being healed and being made whole.
Always come back to Jesus with a grateful and thankful heart. Amen?
