- What is a leper? How does knowing the Old Covenant ceremonial laws regarding leprosy (Leviticus 13 & 14) help us to understand the situation here in Luke 17:11-19?
- Why did Christ tell the ten lepers to go and show themselves to the priests? (see Luke 17:14). Why are we to interpret this statement to imply the promise of healing? (see Leviticus 14)
- Of the ten, only one returned to give thanks to Jesus and he was a Samaritan/foreigner. Why is this point emphasized?
- Those who are cleansed from their sins and saved by Jesus ought to give praise to God and live a life of gratitude before Christ Jesus. If we are not moved to give thanks and praise to God and Christ, what does this reveal about our souls?
- What are ways we can give thanks and praise to God and Christ?
