JESUS HEALS TEN MEN

Just one, only one came to say ‘THANK YOU’

As Jesus made His way to Jerusalem, He went along the border between Samaria and Galilee. He was going into a village when He was met by ten men suffering from dreaded skin-disease. They stood at a distance and shouted, “Jesus! Master! Take pity on us!”

Jesus saw them and said to them, “Go and let the priests examine you.”

On the way they were made clean. When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself to the ground at Jesus’ feet and thanked him.

The man was a Samaritan. Jesus said, “There were ten men who were healed; where are the other nine? Why is this foreigner the only one who came back to give thanks to God?” And Jesus said to him, “Get up and go; your faith has made you well.” (Luke 17:11-19)

                                                                                                                                             

Let’s conclude with a song

There were one, two, three lepers healed by Christ;

There were four, five, six lepers healed by Christ;

There were seven and eight and nine healed too;

Ten in all were made brand new.

But one, just one, only one came to say:

Thank you!
