When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back. He praised God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him. Luke 17:15
In the Gospel of Luke Jesus healed 10 lepers. He told them to go and show themselves to the priest, that way they could be reintroduced to society. All 10 left. Eventually, one stopped, turned around, and went back to Jesus. Why? Because he wanted to say ‘Thank you.’ Something even more miraculous happened that day. Something other than Jesus healing the 10 lepers. Jesus asked, “Were not 10 cleansed? But where are the nine?” Even though Jesus asked the questions, he already knew that answer. Only one came back to thank him. Only one came back to worship him and to give him honor. What Jesus did next is an excellent example of how he responds to thankfulness: “Arise, go thy way: thy faith has made thee whole.”
See, Jesus cleansed and healed all ten lepers, but with the one who came back, he went a step further and made him whole. That means he restored him completely. No missing limbs, no limp, nothing to show that this Samaritan used to be a leper.
Two things here: thankfulness requires action, and true thankfulness moves the very heart of God.
Share your testimony!
If you have a testimony. Don’t keep it to yourself. There are many people who are suffering from problem situations all around. You are blessed since you know the Living God who sent His only Son to die so you could live. A lot of people do not know Jesus personally as their Savior and they do not know how much He loves them. Sharing your testimony gives them hope, edifies and encourages them to seek the Lord for their own problems and impossible situations.
When we share what we experienced, no one can refute it. It doesn’t matter if anyone doesn’t agree with or believe what we believe. Those who cannot bring themselves to believe the Truth have no idea about God’s goodness or His love for them. However, since we have really received many miraculous answers to prayer, we can’t stop sharing what our Lord has done for us.
Those who are suffering now need our help… they need to know they are not alone and that there is hope for them. Perhaps it is a stranger… The Lord wants us to be a source of blessing and encouragement to those who are suffering and struggling in their lives.
