“Where Are The Nine”
Monday, September 23, 2024Key Verse
“And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?” Luke 17:17
Text — Luke 17:12-19
Message
Ten lepers came to Jesus for healing. They were asked to go and show themselves to the priest. As they went, they all got their healing. Unfortunately, only one of them came back to appreciate God for taking away his reproach. Many a time, a lot of people behave like these nine lepers. They take the miracles and goodness of God for granted. They are never grateful and find it difficult to say ‘Thank You’ to the Lord for his countless blessings.
Giving thanks to God for seemingly little things open the door for greater outpouring of His blessings. ‘Thank You Jesus.’ When last did you say it sincerely from your heart? Don’t be like the nine ungrateful lepers. Count your blessings, name them one by one, write them out in the lines below and appreciate God for them.
