The PARABLES & MIRACLES series continues today with consideration of The Miracle of the Healing of the Ten Lepers. (Luke 17:11-19) The Club of the Thankless should have no Christians in it! We need to turn back to thank Jesus rather than pressing forward ungrateful to Him!

Church 212

When Jesus healed ten lepers, only one returned to thank him. What can we learn from the fact that the lepers were healed as they went, and that the one who returned to thank Jesus was a Samaritan?

Going to Jerusalem Luke 17:11-19 Rev Keith Morrison

Jesus was on the border between Samaria and Jerusalem. It is speculated that he took this route to ensure safety at a time when there was much animosity between the two countries. The law of leprosy at the time was harsh. Having leprosy meant forced quarantine from their people. According to Jewish law, one could not come closer than 50 yards to someone with leprosy. Jesus ignored all of that. The bible tells us that there were 10 men who had leprosy. At least one of them was a Samaritan in this group. Their disease broke down the social and religious customs of the time that Jews and Samaritans did not have any relations. Their need overroad all of this and they called out to Jesus for help. Jesus told them to go and show themselves to the priest. As they went, they were healed. The healing was not immediate, but as they obeyed Jesus’ command the healing occurred. It is not enough to just hear the word, but we must act and obey that word to receive any benefit. As they went, the horrible effects and symptoms of the disease left them. The bible says one man stopped and realized that he was healed. Something inside him made him turn back toward Jesus. When he came back, Jesus was surprised and saddened. Ten received a blessing, but only one was grateful. Like us, they were quick to complain about our suffering, but how slow we are are to recognize and appreciate the blessings we receive. This Symaritan could not enjoy the gift until he had thanked the giver. We think when we have been obedient that we have done all that is required. But more important than obedience, is gratitude. Many people have been healed, but they still have a sick spirit. This man, by going back, opened his life to a full healing. The others were better, but Jesus tells this man, that he was made whole. He was not just cleansed of his problem, but Jesus protected him from things in the future. Perhaps the reason we are not enjoying the fullness of the blessings in our life is that we are not thanking God for the things He has already done. Gratitude is what decides how much more God can do in our life. The nine could be declared healed by the priest, but only one was declared whole by the King of Kings. The nine went in obedience, but the one went beyond obedience and stepped into gratitude. What is God holding in reserve for us when we go beyond obedience? What would happen; what would be made available in our life, if we would simply go back?
