There’s more to the account of the ten lepers, recorded in Luke 17.12-16, than the typical “moral of the story” which commends one in ten who actually stops to say “thank you.” The fact that the one who turned back was a Samaritan despised by first century Jews offers drama and contrast, but there’s even more to the story than that.
Christ’s healing of the ten lepers offers a glimpse into the meaning of faith and faith’s inter-relationship with obedience.
