The story
Jesus was walking to a village when ten men called out to him from far away. They had a skin sickness, so they had to live apart from everyone else.
“Jesus, Master, please help us!” they shouted. Jesus looked at them with love. “Go and show yourselves to the priests,” he said.
So the ten men started walking. And as they walked, they looked at their arms and hands. Their skin was clean and healthy. They were healed!
Nine of the men hurried on. But one man stopped. He turned around and ran all the way back to Jesus, shouting, “Praise God! Thank you, God!”
He knelt down at Jesus’ feet. “Thank you, Jesus!” he said. Jesus asked, “Weren’t ten men healed? Where are the other nine?”
Jesus smiled at the man. “Get up and go. Your faith has made you well.” God loves it when we remember to say thank you!
