Be one...

There’s a thanksgiving story in the seventeenth chapter of the book of Luke. Starting at verse 11, we have this report of the event.

“Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, ‘Jesus, Master, have pity on us!’

“When he saw them, he said, ‘Go, show yourselves to the priests.’ And as they went, they were cleansed.

“One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him – and he was a Samaritan.

“Jesus asked, ‘Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?’

“Then he said to him, ‘Rise and go; your faith has made you well.’” (Luke 17:11-19, NIV)

Ten healed. Nine did not praise Jesus. One gave thanks to him for his gift.

Will you be one who gives thanks to God today?
