This Sunday I will be dealing with the theme of thanksgiving. Are you a grateful person? If gratitude is rare these days it is because people have either forgotten where they have come from, or because they have never experienced God's grace in salvation. In the story of the ten lepers who were cleansed, only one returned to give thanks to God. What about the nine? I want to be counted among the "one" who had a real experience of God's amazing grace. Join us for worship this Sunday as we give thanks to the Lord our creator and redeemer. "It is good to give thanks to the Lord" (Psalm 92:1).
Ten Lepers Cleansed
Luke 17:11-19
[11] Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. [12] Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. [13] And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” [14] So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed.
[15] And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, [16] and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. [17] So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? [18] Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” [19] And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.”
Have a blessed week. See you Sunday.
For His Glory!
Pastor Joe
