The Thanksgiving Christian, saying the right words but without the right actions
A. In Luke, only the disciples of Jesus called Him “Master”; others called Him “Teacher,” v. 13
B. Nine obeyed the Letter of Jesus’s Command: “Go, show yourselves to the priests,” v. 14
C. These nine followed the prescription and were healed.
D. These nine failed to “return (repent) and give praise to God,” v. 18
- They were going to the priests at the Temple
- Failed to return / repent
- Failed to give praise to God / Jesus
Thanksliving Christian, one who lives their confession
The Bible says that the Samaritan did these things:
- “When he saw he was healed, came back, praising God,” v. 15–>He saw his condition, he repented, and praised God.
- “In a loud voice”–>Unashamedly gave public testimony
- “He threw himself at Jesus’ feet,” v. 16–>He gave himself totally and wholely to Jesus, no 10% would do.
