"I'd like to briefly make 10 points"

A handout:

2 Kings 5 (p373)

Luke 17:11-19 (p1051)

The Cleansing of the Ten Lepers

THE EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF THE MISSING NINE

AND THE GRATEFUL ONE

A passage all parents should love!

Thank you!

Though also note vv7-10: humility and gratitude

But much more to see – and a sting in the tale:

(1) A deliberate mission (v11)

(2) A miserable condition (v12f)

(3) An informed plea (v13)

(4) A gracious command (v14)

(5) An obedient faith (v14)

(6) A grateful worshiper (v15f)

(7) A surprising example (v16)

(8) A blessed group (v17)

(9) A missing majority (v17)

(10) A saving faith (v19)

Eucharist!
