“And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.” Luke 17:19 [KJV]
In Luke 17 we find that 10 lepers cried out to Jesus and they became clean. However only 1of the 10 came back to Jesus and THANKED Him.
In the Word of God, leprosy represents sin. Jesus cleanses us from all sin but there is so much more He has won for us! The man who thanked Jesus not only received cleansing from leprosy, salvation… he was also RESTORED to health and made WHOLE!
Jesus gave His all so we might be RESTORED to health and made WHOLE… Spirit, Soul and Body. Jesus did not owe us anything and yet He gave us His all that we might receive His all – not some of Himself – all of Himself! Don’t ever settle for less than all you can have in Jesus. What a magnificent God we serve… all Glory to Jesus!
As we take the time to return and say, “Thank you” we move from cleansed to restored and whole… it is so powerful to have a thankful heart!
Make a life habit of thanking Jesus and those who help you... it will move YOU from cleansed to whole in Jesus!
Christmas is a great time for us to make a fresh commitment to keep a heart attitude that nobody owes us anything and when we receive gifts, kindness, time, support, love… whatever another gives… we will return to say THANK YOU!
Merry Christmas Friends as we thank heaven for the greatest gift of all… Jesus!
