—Luke 17:11-19

This is a story of faith, obedience, courage, and ingratitude. The lepers had the courage to leave the leaper colony to find Jesus. They obeyed Jesus to go show themselves to the Priest, the only one who could declare them clean. They were not healed when they left, but their faith was all the courage they needed to obey Jesus. “As they were going, they were cleansed” (v.14). Only one leper returned to express gratitude to Jesus. Because he did, he received both physical and spiritual healing. Are we missing spiritual blessings because of our ingratitude to God for what He has done for us?
