Jesus dicit

Word 109 of 310Love

Were not all ten cleansed? Where then are the other nine?

Luke 17:17

BSB

Read Luke 17 in a modern translation BSB
Read the whole chapter (Luke 17)

Where are the nine?

Ten men with a skin disease called to Jesus for help. They had to keep their distance. He sent them to the priests, and on the way they were healed.

But only one came back to say thank you. He fell at Jesus' feet. And Luke adds: he was a Samaritan. The outsider, of all people. Ten received healing. Only one received an encounter.

Question for today

What have I forgotten to say thank you for?

Prayer

Lord, you have given me so much. Forgive me for so often walking on without turning back. Thank you. Amen.
