Solid Front For Christ

In Luke 17:11-19 we read about ten lepers who stood afar off and shouted to Jesus, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.”

He said, “Go show yourselves to the priest.” And as they went, they were cleansed. But one of those lepers, when he saw that he was cleansed, he turned and ran back to Jesus and fell before him and gave Him thanks.

He worshiped Jesus with a grateful heart and was made whole. A heart of gratitude is what made him whole. The nine lepers ran off with their miracle, but the one that turned back and worshiped Jesus with thanksgiving was made whole—all the damage done and missing parts were restored back to him as though he never had leprosy.

Jesus said that his faith made him whole. A heart of gratitude expressed is an action of faith. It’s a life of wholeness.
