The healing of the ten lepers.

When Jesus saw the men, he said, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." While the ten men were going to the priests, they were healed.

Key Thought: Jesus heals people in all sorts of ways. He told these ten with leprosy to go show themselves to the priests just as the Law commanded them to do if they were healed. Jesus didn't heal them before they left, but as they were on their way to the priests. Healing happened after they stepped out in faith and obeyed. So often, many of us will not follow until the Lord does for us what we want. Like those with leprosy, we call Jesus "Lord" or "Master," but we want him "to do for us" rather than for us to submit to him as Lord. Let's be reminded today, that if Jesus is our Lord, we will obey him whether or not we see the answers to our prayers before, during, or after our obedience. Let's do what he says and trust that he will dispense his mercy and grace in a way that most blesses us for an eternity with him.
