a man of gratitude

a man of gratitude by ric gustafson


Jesus's feet hurt as he walked through the small village. He was on his way to Jerusalem. He had been walking for several hours.
A voice yelled from a distance. " Unclean".
Jesus walked closer. A group of ten lepers were standing in a group.
People from the village kept their distance.
One of the lepers recognized Jesus. All ten yelled in unison. " Jesus, Master have mercy on us".
Jesus felt compassion for them. " Go and show yourselves to the priests".
The ten walked off. As they walked, they were cleansed.
Jesus neared the end of the village. He heard a noise. He turned around. One of the cleansed lepers was on his face at his feet.
" Thank you, Thank you". Tears came down his healed face. " Praise God".
" Were not ten cleansed". Jesus looked at the man with love in his eyes. " Where are the other nine?".
" Stand up and go". Jesus helped him up to his feet. " Your faith has made you well".
