Ten Lepers: One Came Back, The Others Did Not

Why did only one of ten healed men come back?
In Luke 17, ten lepers are cleansed, but only one returns to give thanks.
Questions this sermon answers:
1. What did Jesus do for the ten? He healed all ten of a disease that left them broken and outcast — an astonishing mercy.
2. Why does it matter that only one returned? Because nine received the gift and forgot the Giver. Ingratitude is a deeper sickness than leprosy.
3. What does this teach us? To examine our own thankfulness, and to return to Christ with grateful hearts for all He has done.
"So Jesus answered and said, 'Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?'" — Luke 17:17-18 (NKJV)
