The Power of Faith and Gratitude

Welcome to CityView Church Alvin, where we delve into the scriptures to find guidance, inspiration, and a deeper understanding of our faith. In this page, we explore Lucas 17:11-19, a powerful biblical passage that teaches us about the transformative power of faith and gratitude.

Understanding Lucas 17:11-19

Lucas 17:11-19 tells the story of Jesus healing ten lepers. In this passage, Jesus encounters a group of lepers who cry out for mercy and healing. He instructs them to go and show themselves to the priests, who were the designated authorities to declare someone as cured of leprosy at that time.

As the lepers obeyed Jesus and began their journey to the priests, something extraordinary happened. One of them, realizing he had been miraculously healed, turned back and with a loud voice, praised and thanked Jesus. In response, Jesus commended his faith and remarked, "Rise and go; your faith has made you well."

The Lessons within the Passage

Lucas 17:11-19 teaches us several valuable lessons that resonate with our everyday lives. It highlights the importance of:

  • Recognizing blessings: Just like the grateful leper, it is essential for us to recognize and acknowledge the blessings we receive.
  • Expressing gratitude: Gratitude is a powerful practice that fosters positivity and strengthens our relationship with the divine.
  • Believing in miracles: The story reminds us to have faith and believe in the possibility of miracles, even in the face of challenging circumstances.
  • Returning to give thanks: Demonstrating appreciation and returning to give thanks is an act of humility and an expression of our faith.
  • Finding the power in faith: The passage emphasizes the connection between faith and miraculous healings, urging us to cultivate and nurture our faith.
