Where are the Nine? (17 of 17)

Luke 17:11-19
This is a Scripture that probably is familiar to all of us. It is the account about the ten lepers who were healed by the power of the Lord Jesus. They were certainly a pitiful group when the Lord Jesus saw them because Leprosy was a terrible, terrible disease. What a terrible picture they must have been. Their bodies covered with sores. Their breath absolutely unbearable. They had a cloth over their upper lip. They are afar off. They are in a terrible, miserable condition. Their common misery has brought them together and these ten lepers are holding together, looking for something that can cure them.
In those days leprosy was an incurable disease. There was no known cure. Of course, you and I know that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Great Physician. You and I know that there is no case that is impossible for the Lord. There is nothing incurable when it comes into the presence of Lord Jesus.

His power overwhelms them and they are miraculously and wondrously cured - all ten of the lepers right there on the spot.
The Bible says that one of those lepers turns, comes back to Jesus and he thanks the Lord Jesus for what He has done. There is a dark side to this miracle.

Leprosy is a symbol in the flesh of sin in the soul. Leprosy is a reminder to us of what a terrible thing sin is when it comes into a heart and a life. The miracle here is a reminder to us of the power of the Lord Jesus Christ to save people from their sins. But the dark side of the miracle is that there are so very few people who ever take the time to thank the Lord Jesus and express their tha ...
