Thanks
“And as He entered into a certain village, there met Him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: and they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us .… And … they were cleansed .… And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? (Luke17:12-17).
A father, whose son was off to college was found by his younger daughter in his study, weeping uncontrollably. When she inquired as to the cause, he replied, “Joni, look at these letters: ‘Send me $200 for books, $150 for living expenses, $100 for this, $50 for that.’ Always begging and never a word of thanks or appreciation for all I have done for him or for all my love for him. It hurts me … it breaks my heart!”
Yes, the Lord Jesus has done so much for us today. Will we stop and consider the work and cost of Calvary? Will there be, like the leper, a returning to give Him the praise and thanks that He is so worthy of?
(To be continued.)
