The 9 and the 1
(Luke 17:11-19)
Yearly Theme: “Kindness is… Astounding”
Series Title: “Kindness 24/7”

(Luke 17:11-19)
Yearly Theme: “Kindness is… Astounding”
Series Title: “Kindness 24/7”

Key Point: True Kindness isn’t always recognized or appreciated.
A Lesson from Jesus’s Perspective: There should be no limit to who our kindness is directed towards.
A Lesson from Jesus’s Perspective: We should not be upset with how people respond to our kindness, because “what we get” out of being kind should never be our motivation.
A Lesson from the Leper's Perspective: We should always show gratitude for the kindness shown to us, no matter the size.
A Lesson from the Leper's Perspective: We decide who gets the glory for a situation based on the perspective we have.
What do we know about the disease of leprosy in the time these events took place? How would their lives have been affected by this diagnosis? Why did these lepers ask for “mercy?” What does this hint at their mindset at the time? What are some other times in life when a person might ask for mercy?
Why do you think Jesus instructs them as He does? How would you feel in this situation? As they went they were cleansed?”Put yourself in the shoes of the nine lepers. Why do you think they did not turn back but continued on their way to the priest? Why would getting to the priest be a significant goal for these lepers?
What do you think was going through the mind of the tenth leper just before he turned back? What does the leper do once he gets back to Jesus? Why is this significant?
We are told that his words were spoken “with a loud voice.” Why does this matter? How “loudly” do we talk about spiritual things today? Does this matter? Have you ever had someone in your life who was good at speaking clearly and boldly about faith without offending others?
In the very last verse, Jesus makes a pronouncement. (Keeping in mind that the phrase “has made you well” is the same word he uses elsewhere for “saved.”) Did the tenth leper leave Jesus that day with something different than what the other nine received?
