Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
True gratitude compels us to return to Jesus with praise, acknowledging Him as the source of every blessing.
Of ten lepers healed, only one returned to thank Jesus. This Samaritan recognized that healing came from Christ and responded with loud praise and thanksgiving. The other nine received the blessing but missed the deeper joy of grateful worship. This story challenges us to be the one who returns, the one who doesn't take God's gifts for granted but responds with heartfelt thanksgiving.
