Praise God with Thankful Devotion and Awe

Luke records the story of Jesus traveling to Jerusalem in Luke 17:11-19 when 10 lepers see him and cry out for mercy. Jesus is moved with compassion and commands them to go show themselves to the priests. They listen and obey his command and while they are traveling they are healed. Only one of the ten bursts out praising God and runs to Jesus throwing himself sat his feet in a show of humble gratitude and indebtedness to the miracle of mercy and healing Jesus performed. Jesus teaches us the way the Samaritan leper responded to the mercy of God is how disciples are to respond to mercy, Praising God with thankful devotion and Awe.
