“as they went, they were cleansed” [Luke 17:14]
April 3
“as they went, they were cleansed”. The ten lepers called out to Jesus for mercy. He answered them and told them what they must do. It did not demand reason but obedience. Lepers went to the priest when they were healed for him to verify this. And these lepers recognised that in Jesus’ command to go to the priest there was the promise of cleansing.
All this would have meant nothing had they not turned around and started out in obedience. In many cases in the Christian pathway this is the same. It is as we move out in faith whether for salvation, healing, guidance, victory or whatever, that God gives us what He promises.
Learn from the ten lepers – make obedience to the Lord the priority in your life today.
