West End United Methodist Church

The One Who Turned Back

Speakers:Rev. Dr. Carol Cavin-Dillon
Topics:Children's moment, Sermon, Sunday service

Continuing our series of sermons, “Lessons from the Road,” based on Luke 14-19, in today’s scripture Jesus heals ten lepers.  Nine of them, freed from both their disease and its stigma, follow his command to see the priest to complete their healing.  The tenth one, however, the lone Samaritan, turns back to thank Jesus.  This act prompts Jesus to declare to him, “Your faith has made you whole.”  What is this distinction between the curing of the ten and the making whole of the one?  (NOTE:  Although the video begins with the sermon, once it starts you can scroll back to the beginning of the service if you want.  The video of the entire service is available to watch.  NOTE: The second service was cut short by a fire drill that evacuated the sanctuary.)
