Ten lepers sought Christ. He told them to go to the priest—as they went, they were healed. But, only one—a stranger, he turned back, gave Yeshuah all glory and fell down and worshiped Him, praised Him. Did you see, catch that? “A stranger”
The nine went to the Priest—yes, but no thanks, no faith! They were not made whole. But the stranger had faith that the ones who should have known, didn’t have because they let it go, they didn’t exercise the measure of faith Elohim gave them. Without faith, it is impossible to please Elohim. This reminds me of the fact that many of they who once knew Elohim, and they who had truth, loved to hear it, but chose not to live it, and gave up their faith, they became indifferent, neglected to give Elohim thanks—these will be lost no matter their knowledge. Many of the professed, many who now believe will let go of their faith and give up salvation. But they who don’t have the truth now, the strangers—they will hear and believe, be healed, delivered and made whole.
“And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: and they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.”
Luke 17:11-19 KJV
Mediate upon the Word of Elohim and glean from Him all He has to satisfy our mouth with from this account of the faith of one, a stranger! Yes! A stranger! What encouragement!
Thank Him, glorify Him, give Him praise. You may see, realize or you may not—but by faith, praise Him, and give Him thanks, glorify Elohim, worship Him. Our worship is our daily living—let us be mindful to surrender our will to His will moment by moment all the day long, live by faith His will—it’s Christ in us through the Holy Spirit that we will be hearers and doers of His Word: We will love Him with His Love.
