The One Who Came Back

Ten people stood apart, separated from their families and communities, crying out to Jesus for mercy.  Jesus heard them, healed them, and sent them on their way, but only one came back.  His encounter with Jesus moved him from desperation to gratitude, from receiving a miracle to recognizing the One who gave it.  This message reminds us that an encounter with Jesus changes how we see our circumstances, our blessings, and ultimately, the One who meets us in our need.
