THIS WEEK: The Thankful Leper Read: Bible Story: Luke 17:11-19
Bible Story recap:
Don’t you just hate it when someone does something nice for you and your mother prompts you by saying, “Now, what do you say?” You knew what to say, didn’t you? We all know what to say, but unfortunately, we sometimes forget to say it.
Our Bible story is about ten lepers. Do you know what a leper is? No, it is not an animal with spots on it. That’s a leopard! However, a leper does have spots. A leper is a person who has a disease called leprosy. This disease causes sores all over the body. Leprosy was very common in Jesus’ day, and people who had this disease were thought to be unclean. They were required to stay away from other people because of the fear that they might infect them with their disease.
This lesson focuses on giving thanks to God for all that He has done for us. In the gospel of Luke we read the story of the 10 Lepers who were healed by Jesus. One of these men returned and thanked Jesus for healing him, but the other nine forgot. We know that God is worthy of our praise all year long.
