Be like the one, not like the nine (Luke 17:11-19)
Gratitude is not something you can teach, but it is something Christians should focus on. As Jesus makes his way to Jerusalem, we see him heal 10 guys, and one of them responds in a pretty sweet way - and in that moment - everything changes.
11 While traveling to Jerusalem, he passed between[fn] Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he entered a village, ten men with leprosy met him. They stood at a distance 13 and raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us! ”
14 When he saw them, he told them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And while they were going, they were cleansed.
15 But one of them, seeing that he was healed, returned and, with a loud voice, gave glory to God. 16 He fell facedown at his feet, thanking him. And he was a Samaritan.
17 Then Jesus said, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? 18 Didn’t any return to give glory to God except this foreigner? ” 19 And he told him, “Get up and go on your way. Your faith has saved you.”
