Outlook: Gratitude in Action—The Story of the Ten Lepers

In this message, we dive into Luke 17:11-19 and explore the powerful lesson of gratitude in the ten lepers’ story. Jesus healed all ten men from leprosy, but only one returned to thank Him—a Samaritan, an outsider in Jewish society. His gratitude stood out to Jesus, highlighting an important truth: recognizing the source of our blessings is key to deepening our relationship with God.

This story reminds us that gratitude is more than saying “thank you.” It’s about acknowledging that everything we have comes from God. While the other nine moved on, missing the opportunity to praise God, the one who returned demonstrated true faith and humility.

Challenge: Be like the one who returned. This week, take time each day to reflect on a specific blessing you’ve received that you haven’t thanked God for. Spend a few moments in prayer, expressing your gratitude, and reconnecting with the source of your blessings.
