Are You Committed? Luke 17:11-19 The Message (MSG) 11-13 It happened that as he made his way toward Jerusalem, he crossed over the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he entered a village, ten men, all lepers, met him. They kept their distance but raised their voices, calling out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” 14-16 Taking a good look at them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” They went, and while still on their way, became clean. One of them, when he realized that he was healed, turned around and came back, shouting his gratitude, glorifying God. He kneeled at Jesus’ feet, so grateful. He couldn’t thank him enough—and he was a Samaritan. 17-19 Jesus said, “Were not ten healed? Where are the nine? Can none be found to come back and give glory to God except this outsider?” Then he said to him, “Get up. On your way. Your faith has healed and saved you.” (Many seem willing to serve God---to a point.They are willing to receive of the Lords full and free forgiveness and to receive the Holy Ghost! However, to really commit themselves to a life of sacrificial service is quite another matter. They fail to see that it is only by making a complete commitment---full concentration of body and spirit---that they will receive Gods best.) #Are you truly committed? Are you just a gift seeker?
