Gratitude and Faith: Lessons from the Cleansing of Ten Lepers

📖 Introduction

Welcome to this 7-day study on the powerful story of the Cleansing of Ten Lepers found in Luke 17:11–19. This passage is a profound glimpse into how Jesus heals, how faith works, and what true gratitude looks like in the life of a believer. Lepers were outcasts, isolated from society because of their disease, desperate for healing and acceptance. When Jesus encounters these ten men, He not only offers healing but also reveals a deeper lesson about faith in action and thanksgiving.

As you journey through this study, you will be invited to explore the dynamics of faith—how belief is more than a feeling; it's a trust that leads to obedience. You will also reflect on gratitude—how the one leper who returned to thank Jesus models a heart posture that Jesus Himself commended.

Through devotional reflections, you’ll engage with the story personally, seeking to apply the truths in your own life. Thought-provoking questions will challenge you to dig deeper, and journaling prompts will help you process your experiences and prayers.

Whether you’re new to the faith or have walked with Jesus for years, this study promises insights to enrich your walk with Him. Let’s begin, ready to see how faith, healing, and gratitude intersect in powerful ways through the simple but life-changing act of returning thanks.
