‭‭Luke‬ ‭17‬:‭11‬-‭19‬‬
While traveling to Jerusalem, he passed between Samaria and Galilee. As he entered a village, ten men with leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” When he saw them, he told them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And while they were going, they were cleansed. But one of them, seeing that he was healed, returned and, with a loud voice, gave glory to God. He fell facedown at his feet, thanking him. And he was a Samaritan. Then Jesus said, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? Didn’t any return to give glory to God except this foreigner?” And he told him, “Get up and go on your way. Your faith has saved you.”

1. Jesus comes to where you are
· His Presence


Leviticus 13:45-46
45 “Anyone with such a defiling disease must wear torn clothes, let their hair be unkempt, cover the lower part of their face and cry out, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’ 46 As long as they have the disease they remain unclean. They must live alone; they must live outside the camp.


2. Jesus shows you who He is
· His Power

‭‭Luke‬ ‭17‬:‭14‬‬
When he saw them, he told them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And while they were going, they were cleansed.

1 Corinthians 15:58
… be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the Lord’s work, knowing that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.


Colossians 1:6
All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing…


3. Jesus changes you from who you were
-His Promise

‭‭Luke‬ ‭17‬:‭15‬-‭19‬‬
But one of them, seeing that he was healed, returned and, with a loud voice, gave glory to God. He fell facedown at his feet, thanking him. And he was a Samaritan. Then Jesus said, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? Didn’t any return to give glory to God except this foreigner?” And he told him, “Get up and go on your way. Your faith has saved you.”

Romans 5:5
This hope will not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.


Because of what Jesus has done, our hope gives us the promise that everything will turn out okay, even if everything doesn't appear to be okay, right now.


Romans 8:28
We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.


George Washington, 1789
"By the President of the United States of America. A proclamation: Whereas, it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor, and

"Whereas, Both Houses of Congress have by their joint committee requested me `to recommend to the people of the United States a day of Public Thanksgiving and Prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God. . .’

"Now, Therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the benevolent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be..."

‭‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭3‬‬
