On the way to Jerusalem he (Jesus) was
passing along between Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered a village, he was
met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance and lifted up their voices and said,
"Jesus, Master, have mercy on us."
When he saw them he said to them, "Go
and show yourselves to the priests."
And as they went they were cleansed. Then one
of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud
voice; and he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a
Samaritan. Then said Jesus, "Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? Was
no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?"
God wants us to praise and thank Him
so that we may know how to live a grateful and joyous life. Only those who can
appreciate can have a happy life. Appreciate others that you may have a better
relationship with them. They will also want to help you more when you give
thanks.
We must also thank God everyday for His
loving care and continue blessings. He keep us in healthy body and mind. He
gives us faith in Him.
Jesus died on the cross for us and saved
us from sin and eternal condemnation by sacrificing His life on the cross on
our behalf (John 3:16-17). He give us the right to be called the children of
God (John 1:12)
God has forgiven all our sin and has
given us eternal life because of Jesu, who died for us when we were dead in our
sins. In His great mercy, we have been “made alive with Christ” (Ephesians
2:1-5).
Therefore, praise God and give Him thanks regularly, which
will bring you more and more joy.
God bless you.
