SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY LUKE 17:11-23

Be Thankful

¹¹ While Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem, he was going through the area between Samaria and Galilee.¹² As he came into a small town, ten men who had a skin disease met him there. They did not come close to Jesus¹³ but called to him, "Jesus! Master! Have mercy on us!"

¹⁴ When Jesus saw the men, he said, "Go and show yourselves to the priests."

As the ten men were going, they were healed. ¹⁵ When one of them saw that he was healed, he went back to Jesus, praising God in a loud voice.¹⁶ Then he bowed down at Jesus' feet and thanked him. (And this man was a Samaritan.) ¹⁷ Jesus said, "Weren't ten men healed? Where are the other nine? ¹⁸ Is this Samaritan the only one who came back to thank God?" ¹⁹ Then Jesus said to him, "Stand up and go on your way. You were healed because you believed."

God's Kingdom Is Within You

²⁰ Some of the Pharisees asked Jesus, "When will the kingdom of God come?"

Jesus answered, "God's kingdom is coming, but not in a way that you will be able to see with your eyes. ²¹ People will not say, 'Look, here it is!' or, 'There it is!' because God's kingdom is within you."

²² Then Jesus said to his followers, "The time will come when you will want very much to see one of the days of the Son of Man. But you will not see it. ²³ People will say to you, 'Look, there he is!' or, 'Look, here he is!' Stay where you are; don't go away and search.

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-JASPER
