The Comeback: Comeback To Praise
Luke 17:11-19 NLT
11 As Jesus continued on toward Jerusalem, he reached the border between Galilee and Samaria. 12 As he entered a village there, ten men with leprosy stood at a distance, 13 crying out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” 14 He looked at them and said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed of their leprosy. 15 One of them, when he saw that he was healed, came back to Jesus, shouting, “Praise God!” 16 He fell to the ground at Jesus’ feet, thanking him for what he had done. This man was a Samaritan. 17 Jesus asked, “Didn’t I heal ten men? Where are the other nine? 18 Has no one returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” 19 And Jesus said to the man, “Stand up and go. Your faith has healed you. ”
I will COMEBACK to praise because…
I Can Pray to Him.
V12-13 As he entered a village there, ten men with leprosy stood at a distance, crying out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
Instead of living a life filled with complaints, I’m going to live a life filled with confidence in Christ!
I will COMEBACK to praise because…
I Can Trust Him
V14 He looked at them and said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed of their leprosy.
TRUST HIM ENOUGH TO DO WHAT HE TELLS YOU TO DO.
I will COMEBACK to praise because…
He Deserves It
V16-18 He fell to the ground at Jesus’ feet, thanking him for what he had done. This man was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, “Didn’t I heal ten men? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?”
Though we are UNDESERVING to give praise, we are privileged to do that very thing.
Psalms 107:31 NLT
31 Let them praise the Lord for his great love and for the wonderful things he has done for them.
I will COMEBACK to praise because…
IV. It prepares me
Praise still prepares us and opens the way to the next level of our relationships with God.
