Luke 17:11-19

Intro - Everything God put in the bible is there for a reason. Sometimes it's obvious but sometimes you have to dig a little bit deeper. The obvious lesson in today's text is that you need to be thankful.

A. You were forced to separate yourself from others. Lev.13:45-46
B. They were doomed to a slow and painful death.
C. Leprosy and sin both cause death, one physically, one spiritually. Heb.12:15,1Tim.4:1-2,Heb.3:12-13
II. Jesus physically heals all ten lepers.
A. They were required by law to show themselves to the priest. Lk.5:12-14
B. One sees he is healed and returns to Jesus to thank Him. (16) Matt.9:6
C. The others are healed physically but not spiritually, only one had faith.
III. One is healed spiritually. (19)
