The one that gave praise

In the gospel of Luke, chapter 17, Jesus was passed by ten leprous men. Diseased and unclean to the touch. According to the Mosaic Law they were to cover their face and cry "Unclean,unclean". In the eyes of a Jew they would be unclean spirtually if they touched one of these with leprosy. They had to feel isolated from the rest of their people. They had to feel oppressed. They were definitely miserable. So that day when they cried unto Jesus to have mercy on them Jesus spoke to them to go and show themselves to the priest. They were all healed. But only one turned and gave glory to God. Only one stopped to worship Jesus. He was made whole from the effects of the disease. Why did the nine others that had went through the same suffering and misery as this fellow, yet turned not to give the God of heaven praise for their healing? Are we that much different today? We have all come out from some measure of sin. Whether we were born and raised in church or came in on our 85th birthday. We are all sinners, saved by grace. Have we gotten so used to the gospel that we have become dull of hearing? Is it only stories to us now? Why do we not turn and give him praise that we can be made whole? Leprosy is a disease. But it is also symbolic of sin. It eats the flesh of the body. Sin eats away at our souls. But the good news is that we are healed in the name of Jesus. If we confess him. But to be made whole let's go on and worship him. I hope this message stirs your soul. Let me know. Be blessed. Thanks
