Answer Text:
Significance of the healing of the ten lepers:
- It showed the need for thanksgiving. Only one of the ten lepers came to say thanks to Jesus. Christians therefore should thank God for whatever God has done to them.
- Jesus told the leapers to go the priest to examine them, an indication that Jesus respected the religious beliefs of the Jews. Christians therefore need to respect the laws of God.
- The Samaritan had a lot of faith for Jesus told him to get up and go, for his faith had made him well. Likewise we are supposed to have a lot of faith in Jesus
- This incident is used to show that outcasts like Samaritans are ready to appreciate Jesus’ mission than the Jews. An indication that salvation is for all and not only the Jews.
- Jesus had the power to heal. Christians should trust in God to heal them from whatever form of sickness.
- It shows the compassionate nature of Jesus. Christians should be concerned with the suffering of others.
