One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him and he was a Samaritan - Luke 17:15-16.
Ten men with leprosy met Jesus and lifted up voice to have mercy on them. Jesus told them to go and show themselves to the priests. Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” 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 - Luke 17:12-14. They were healed as they went and showed themselves to the priests.
Only one leper out of ten returned to give thanks for what God had done for him. One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him and he was a Samaritan. So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well” - Luke 17:15-19.
Let us return to God to thank Him for all He had done in our life. I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds - Psalm 9:1. I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever - Psalm 86:12. I will praise the name of God with a song, And will magnify Him with thanksgiving - Psalm 69:30.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us return to You with a grateful heart to give You thanks for all You have done for us. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
