Newspaper Page TextWeekly Devotional ONE REMEMBERED TO THANK Luke 17:12-18 By Philip DeMore, Pastor Jackson United Methodist Church Ten lepers went to Christ for healing; only one re turned to thank. Ten went to ask; only one came back to praise. Why did the nine fail to thank Christ for His blessing? Why do we fail to thank? Pride is the greatest reason for the thanklessness of man. Do you remember the rich farmer Jesus told about? He made abundant crops, buTthose crops did riot cause him to think of the One who created the soil and sent the sunshine and rain. It only caused him to think of how he could enjoy himself. To be thankful means that we must admit that we have received more than we deserved. Gratitude comes from a sense of unworthi ness. The Bible tells us to humble ourselves, but in stead we like to boast and to promote ourselves, and we like to use our blessings to feed our conceit and to support our pride. That is why we are not thankful. Also, we are not thankful because we concentrate on our troubles instead of on our blessings. These nine lepers had suffered both in body and in mind. There were finan cial reverses, the loss of friends. It is so easy to let past trouble kill all the joy of today and tomorrow. A line from Lew Wallace’s great book, “Ben Hur”, tells us: “In thankfulness for present mercies nothing so becomes us as losing sight of past ills.” But some people never learn to forget and go forward. Instead of gratitude for the good, they are only bitter over some bad. There life stops for them and they become dead souls. This one leper recognized that he had received answer to his prayer. He, too, had a home and family he was anxious to get back to. He, too, had a business that needed his attention. But also, he was a decent man. Something had come to him that he had not earned nor deserved. He had come praying, “Master, have mercy,” and through mercy, not justice, he was blessed. Now he recognized that and was big enough to express gratitude. When Jesus saw him coming back alone He said, “Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?” The Lord was very disappointed; not disap pointed because He wanted their praise, but rather because He had an even greater blessing that He could not give the other nine. To the one man with the faithful heart He said, “Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.” Many people have pos sessed His physical bless ings, but they are not happy and in their hearts is no peace. But for those who recognize their blessings and express their gratitude there is a spiritual wholeness awaiting, which is Christ’s greatest blessing.

He left us a valuable legacy, not of money and material things, but some thing more important. He taught us honesty, loyalty, integrity, sympathy, for giveness, and Christian love for God and all mankind. His passing left a void in our hearts, but from the life he lived, we know he must be one of God’s jewels in Heaven, and each of us will do well to follow his example. God Bless you, Dear Daddy-r- Mr. and Mrs. Julian Washington and family, Mr. and Mrs. Allmon Washington and family, Mrs. Eloise Guess and family, Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Avery and family. i In Germany it’s bad luck to sneeze while putting on shoes; but to sneeze in conversation means that the last state ment was true. METHODIST CHURCHES JACKSON Rev.
