The Rest

What about the rest?

One of the men, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him. Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Rise and go; your faith has made you well.” Luke 17:15-19

.

How sad to think that only one out of the ten returned thanks to Jesus for the cleansing, the healing, the life-transformation that He gave to them. Yet, this is probably proportionate to the thanks I return to God.

For all that God has done, does our thankfulness - our thanksgiving - fall far short?

For all that God is doing is our faith illustrated through our thanks - or lack thereof?
