USCSI REFLECTIONS

Luke 17:11-19

Gratitude is an important component in a sound spiritual life as we are aware that we are constantly dependent upon God. Were all ten lepers healed? Yes. Were they all saved? Yes, in the sense that they were rescued from their disease. But not in the sense of drawing close to God in thankfulness and dependence. The nine were saved physically but not spiritually. May the gratefulness of the one be an example for all of us.
