In Luke chapter 17, there is an account of ten lepers who were healed by the Lord Jesus. In that day there was no cure for leprosy. It was a death sentence. Leprosy meant isolation from the community and family and a very lonely existence until death. Like I stated, Jesus completely healed ten of them. However, only one returned to give thanks and it is stated that he was a Samaritan. Tragic isn’t it?
In the Bible, leprosy is used to illustrate sin. We all are infected by it and our only recourse is the salvation Jesus secured for us on Calvary. How many who have placed faith in Christ are really thankful? That’s a good question, isn’t it? Do you have an answer?
because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
If God has dealt with the sin issue in you, make sure you thank Him.
Give it some thought.
