Alright let's get on with the episode.

Welcome back to Coffee with a Calvinist my name is Keith Foskey and I am a Calvinist.

What have you given thanks to Jesus for today? That's our question in our topic as we open our Bibles to Luke chapter 17.

As you know we're going verse by verse through the Bible and or not verse by verse chapter by chapter through the New Testament and today we're in Luke chapter 17 and so we're going to look at this passage the the passage where Jesus cleansed ten lepers.

It says in verse 11 on the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee and as he entered a he was met by ten lepers who stood at a distance and lifting lifted and lifted up their voices saying Jesus master have mercy on us.

When he saw them he said to them go and show yourselves to the priests and as they did they were cleansed.

Then one of them when he saw that he was healed turned back praising God with a loud voice and he fell on his face at Jesus feet giving him thanks.

Now he was a Samaritan.

Then Jesus answered were not ten cleansed where are the nine? No one was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner and he said to him rise and go your way your faith has made you well.

Now there's a lot in this passage that is significant certainly the fact that it starts by telling where Jesus is it gives a locational significance between Samaria and Galilee and then of course it was a Samaritan who returned Jesus refers to him as a foreigner so there's there's a lot here in this passage that we could dig deeper into but but right now I just want to look at the simplest part of this and that and that is the fact that we see the expression of gratitude and the expression of gratitude is only by one of the ten men.
