In this passage of God’s Word, we see Jesus continuing His journey towards Jerusalem. As He does, He encounters 10 lepers. He instructs them to show themselves to the priests, and as they did, they are all healed. Afterwards, only one comes back to thank Jesus. This story shows us that we should:
1. Realize, God notices and hears us
Luke 17:11-14, 1 Pet. 3:12, 1 John 5:13-15, Heb. 4:16, Ps. 18:6
2. Obey when God instructs
Luke 17:14, 6:46, John 14:15-24, 1 Sam. 15:22, James 1:22, 2 Kings 5:1-14
3. Give thanks to God
Luke 17:15-19, 1 Thess. 5:18, Col. 3:17, Ps. 92:1, 106:1, 107:1, Eph. 5:20
4. Realize that your relationship with God is more important than anything else
Luke 17:19, Heb. 11:6, John 17:3, Rom. 5:1-2
