Luke 17:11-19

IngratitudeWe all hate ingratitude…..but do we show it?

Luke 17:11-19Ten Lepers were saved by Jesus ChristPhysical sickness is a metaphor for sin (Matthew 9:1-8)Consider why the other nine may not have returned

One of the Lepers Did Not Return Because:

He did not believe he was ever sick

Most people go through life denying their sicknessI John 1:8-9John 9:35-41

Only by admitting sickness can we be healed - Acts 2:38

Contrary to what he thought, he never was healed; He believed that hearing Jesus alone healedHe did not “show himself to the priest”

In order to be cleansed of our sins, we need faithFaith without works fails - James 2:18-19

One of the Lepers Did Not Return Because:

He did not want to be healed

Today many people simply do not want to be savedThey enjoy the pleasures of sin - Hebrews 11:25They have too much too lose - Matthew 19:19-23

We cannot love the world and Christ too - I John 2:15

One of the Lepers Did Not Return Because:

He was too busy living it up

The enticement of the worldThe works of the flesh – Galatians 5:19-20Saints fall prey to the world – II Timothy 4:10

We were not saved just to sin more - Romans 6:1

One of the Lepers Did Not Return Because:

He intended too, but too many things interfered;He had the full desire to go back, but did not

“Cares” of the world can choke us out - Mark 4:18-19

God must be an intrinsic priority

One of the Lepers Did Not Return Because:

He did not think it mattered how he thanked Jesus;He thanked Jesus from his home

We need to “give thanks” in a proper mannerIn Spirit and in Truth – John 4:24On the first day – Acts 20:7, I Corinthians 16:1With the assembly of Christians – Hebrews 10:25

One of the Lepers Did Not Return Because:

He did not think it mattered where he went “All roads lead to God”

Only one road leads to Christ - Matthew 7:14 There is only one “body” of Christ - Ephesians 4:1-6

We were not saved in any other name but Jesus Christ

One of the Lepers Did Not Return Because:

He was angry that he had been healed;Now he would have to work, etc

When we are healed we have works to accomplishEphesians 2:10Romans 6:16

There are rewards to this work – I Corinthians 15:58

One of the Lepers Did Not Return Because:

He knew where he was healed - back to Jesus ChristHe was grateful for the gift of God

Romans 5:8

His faith made him well Our faith and His Grace makes us well

Ephesians 2:8 His faith was only credited by his return

One of the Lepers DID Return Because:

Application: Will You Return?9 Failed to return for whatever reasons

Regardless of their intentions

We are the TEN Lepers Some of us may be of the NINE Lepers We should want to be the ONE Leper

Do You Want To Be Healed?Will you hear and believe?Will you confess Jesus as Lord?Will you turn away from your old life?Will you be baptized for salvation?

Will you return to Jesus?
