YOUR SUPPORT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

THE DEEP END So often when we hear Luke’s story of the ten lepers, we concentrate on

the supposed rudeness of the nine who didn’t return, who seem ungrateful for the healing Jesus brought. I wonder, however, if they were being rude or simply doing what they had been told to do. Jesus said ‘Go, show yourselves to the priests’ and that is what they set out to do. In fact, their initial cry for help would indicate they recognised Jesus as

Master, they knew to call out to him for healing, they trusted him, and they believed him when he spoke to them. They even set out in the direction he told them before there was any evidence he had healed them.

Luke makes a point of distinguishing the returning leper as a Samaritan/Gentile so,presumably, the other nine were Jewish. They, and Jesus, knew the priests would provide official acknowledgement of their being cleansed, allowing them to re-enter the community in accordance with the

Law. They continued on their path to visit the priests so they could resume their lives, go home to their family and friends, and return to worshipping in the synagogue. They were cleansed. But that’s not the end of the story. The Samaritan did a turnabout and returned to thank Jesus, to thank God. He, however, was not only cleansed; he was ‘made well.’

All ten are healed but the thankful Samaritan is somehow more prophetic. He is grateful for the grace he has just received and, perhaps, lights the way for future Gentiles to respond to the Good News through faith and

thankfulness. The thankful Samaritan shows us that gratitude is an essential response to God’s mercy. It is essential to our wholeness of mind, body and spirit; it is essential to salvation. To be made well we must add thanksgiving to our faith.
