[Bible Trek Luke] God Sees What Is in Your Heartنموونە

Jesus Heals

“Jesus asked, ‘Weren’t ten men healed? Where are the other nine?’” Luke 17:17

Read the Bible

Leprosy is a terrible disease. It is so contagious that in Bible times, lepers had to live outside the city, separated from their families and friends forever. In this story, Jesus tells ten lepers to go to the priests in town to prove that they have been healed, but they aren’t healed until they are on their way there! And, although all ten men are healed, only one comes back to say thank you.

Think about it

How many times does God do wonderful things for us and we forget to say thank you? How do you think Jesus felt when he asked, “Weren’t ten men healed? Where are the other nine?” Jesus gave a special blessing to the one who came back to say thank you. He healed his spirit as well as his body by saying: “Your faith has made you well.” Remember to thank God for all he does!

Do something about it

As you think about your life in the past week, can you remember three things that God did for you? Write them down in your “FaithBook,” and say a prayer of thanksgiving for God’s goodness to you!

Talk to God

“God, thank you for all your many gifts to me. Please help me to have a grateful heart!”
