On the way to Jerusalem Jesus was going through the region between Samaria and Galilee. As he entered a village, ten lepers approached him. Keeping their distance, they called out, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were made clean. Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice. He prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan. Then Jesus asked, “Were not ten made clean? But the other nine, where are they? Was none of them found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?” Then he said to him, “Get up and go on your way; your faith has made you well.” (Luke 17:11-19, NRSV)
10 are healed…
One comes back to the one who healed 10 and falls at His feet to give thanks!
All 10 are cleansed, and healed of the disease that is keeping them from the community…
But one is made well by his faith. Or he was saved by his faith. He asked for healing and by being thankful for what he was given he was made whole, well, or saved!
What are you thankful for?
Do you focus on your needs or what you have been given?
Be thankful or what you have and remember to give thanks!
