Hello,
To Be Grateful!
Luke 17:15-16 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; and he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. Now, he was a Samaritan. ESV.
**To Be Grateful**
In Luke 17, Jesus heals ten lepers who begged Him for mercy. After the healing, they go to show their recovery to the priests. Of all ten, only one turns to show gratitude to Jesus. He praises God for his deliverance and falls at Jesus' feet, thanking Him. Strange thing, though: The one who gave thanks was a Samaritan—an outcast of the Jews.
Sin also ends in death, just like leprosy. As Jesus healed the lepers, He heals all who come to Him in faith and obedience today. You see, even if dying from leprosy is horrible, dying before God is worse. For dying in sin leads to everlasting death and inexplicable torment.If we've been healed from sin, we worship Him with all our hearts, showing deep gratitude for His mercy and eternal life!
So, friends, let’s strive to live as if the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit live within us! Let’s live in love and share peace with those around us.
