The overflow of Jesus' life was to bring physical healing to those around him. In this chapter, He healed 10 men with a serious skin disease. They cried out to Him and He healed them. Yet only ONE thought to say "thank-you". They were on death's door. Jesus healed them. And only one gives thanks! Even Jesus was shocked at this.
But what about me? I might not have a serious skin disease, but I have been given much by Jesus. The healing I have been given is far more significant than a skin problem. I have been healed of my sin problem. Not only do I have forgiveness, I have been given eternal life! Yet, I struggle to be marked by gratitude. I often find myself wanting more from Jesus, without being thankful for what I have been given.
Sadly, I am more like the others than the one.
