Jesus Heals Ten Men of Leprosy - Luke 17:11-19
Jesus sees 10 men with leprosy. He tells them to go show themselves to the priests. They all go and are healed on the way. One man comes back to thank Jesus because he knows that Jesus deserves our thanks.
Through the Week
• Take the Thankfulness Challenge. Each person will try to thank at least 10 people every day this week.
• Tell each other who you’ve thanked, and why.
• At the end of the week, talk about whether your attitude changed as a result of thanking so many people!
Talk About This…
• What have people thanked you for?
Watch and Discuss - “The Ten Men With Leprosy”
Our Bible story today shows that Jesus deserves our thanks. When Jesus helps us, we can thank him the way the one man who came back did! Let’s see firsthand what it was like when that happened!
Watch “The Ten Men With Leprosy.”
Before the men were healed of leprosy, they had different things they missed. One missed pizza a lot! (Okay, maybe that part wasn’t in the Bible…)
• What would you miss the most if you had to live far away from everyone else?
• Tell about something you’re thankful for.
• What are some things the men with leprosy could’ve been thankful for—even before they were healed?
The men with leprosy had lost a lot of things. But there are always things we can thank Jesus for. Once the men were healed, they could get their old lives back! That’s definitely something to be thankful for. Jesus deserves our thanks in good times and bad.
