The Ten Lepers: It Takes More Faith to Receive Salvation than to Receive Healing

In the healing of the ten lepers, only one returns to thank Jesus, highlighting the difference between merely seeking miracles and acknowledging the miracle worker. Jesus emphasizes that faith should focus on glorifying Him, not just on personal gain. True wholeness involves both physical and spiritual healing, which the grateful leper received.

God’s Promises

God has promised strength for the day,
Rest for the laborer, light for the way,
Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.

He asked not for escape, but for reconciliation. His heart was in exactly the right place, submitted to God. Therefore, his eyes were primed and ready to see The Son of God on the cross next to him.
