God is saying why did you forget me God
is going to do great miracles in your
life God is going to transform you God
is going to deliver you God is going to
renew you God is going to continue to
sanctify you because of what he did in
our lives through Jesus Christ given us
the greatest miracle that anyone could
ever give us which is the miracle of
Salvation he took someone who was dead
in their sins and trespasses that was me
and you we were dead in our sins and
trespasses the Bible says that he made
us alive in Christ Jesus but then the
mistake is this that because of the
blessing and because of the new life now
we are no longer plagued with the things
that we used to be plagued with and we
start to forget about God and God is
saying why did you forget about me don't
let the new life and don't let the
blessings become a distraction in the
Book of Romans the Bible tells us that
the people fell in love with the
creation more than with the Creator
that's been something that people have
been doing for a long time they fall in
love more with the creation they get
distracted with the creation they get
distracted with the blessing instead of
being in love with the one who created
it instead of being in love with the one
who gave them the blessing listen to
what this story says here Jesus gives us
an example of what happens when people
receive their blessing what happens when
people receive their miracle and the
people that Jesus gave this miracle to
90 percent of them got distracted and
did not give glory to God ninety percent
of them did not return to give glory to
the Lord ninety percent that's a big
percentage
are you one of those 90 percent
if you are one of those 90 that has been
distracted that has forgotten about God
I want to let you know that Grace is
waiting for you today
I want to let you know that forgiveness
and restoration is waiting for you today
and we're gonna learn through a
scripture what we need to do as
Christians so that we won't be those 90
that forget about God
look what scripture says Luke chapter 17
verse 11 through 19 it's talking about
10 lepers what is lepers what does that
mean leprosy it's a severe skin disease
and that word leprosy is used to
describe several different type of skin
diseases but it was a severe skin
disease that would many times take
people to death and look what happens
here on the way to Jerusalem he was
passing along between Samaria and
Galilee and as he entered a village he
was met by ten lepers here we go who
stood at a distance and lifted up their
voices saying Jesus Master have mercy on
us
they were all unanimously saying have
mercy on us they all had this great need
what is their great need leprosy why
were they standing far off because the
law the levitical law was that because
of their severe contagious skin disease
they couldn't be amongst the people they
had to be outside of the camp outside of
the city so these people were standing
far off they weren't in society they
were standing far off asking God for
mercy
how does this apply to us today or how
can this be compared to us today many of
God's people we have things in our life
that were not letting us enjoy our life
they were keeping us on the outside they
were keeping us excluded depression
anxiety fear for many people addictions
many sins that were not allowing us to
live our life not allowing us to be in
the presence of God we were outside on
the outskirts living like vagabonds
living like people who were exiled
but these people were asking for mercy
and do you know what the Bible says the
Bible says that God will never turn away
a broken heart never ever ever when
somebody asked the Lord for Mercy he
will give them mercy and look what
happens when he saw them I want to let
you know that God is always searching
for The Sinner I want to let you know
that Jesus Christ is always searching
for the Brokenhearted he will always
hear you when he saw them he said to
them go and show yourselves to the
priest and as they went they were
cleansed do you know why he told them go
and show yourself to the priest because
that was also in the levitical law that
when somebody would begin to be healed
of leprosy they had to go show
themselves to the priest so the priest
can examine them and then the priest
would give the final verdict yes this
person is healed or no I still see
something here you need to be put in
quarantine for another 10 days that was
the priest's job to examine them and he
was the final say-so like yes they're
healed or no they still got some
blemishes some spots some leprosy they
need to go into quarantine 10 or more
days we'll examine you ten days later
so Jesus was telling him to follow the
process
but the Bible says as they went along
their way they were all healed
this represents us
we were healed of our leprosy what is
our leprosy our leprosy were our sins
our leprosy were our fears our
depressants our anxieties the things
that we're plaguing us the things that
were keeping us down the things that
were robbing life from us
that's the leprosy things that were
separating us from the presence of God
that's the leprosy
and Jesus Through what he did for us on
the cross and through the resurrection
that he had on the third day he paid the
price for our sins through his
crucifixion and on his resurrection he
gives us new life and he sent us the
Holy Spirit he told the disciples stay
here I'm going to send you the helper
all of this is the gospel we have the
forgiveness and the payment of sins we
have the new life in Jesus Christ we
have the Holy Spirit through Jesus
Christ this is all the gospel the good
news that Jesus Christ came to this
world for one reason and one reason
alone to save Sinners when Jesus told
the ten lepers Go and show yourselves to
the priests as they were walking that
represents when we're walking in our new
life they were all healed all healed all
10 of them healed
but look at this
and I want you to submerge yourself in
this story
put yourself in this story who are you
and be honest look what happens here
then one of them
just one
just ten percent
just one of them
then just one of them when he saw that
he was healed turn back they were all
distracted in their healing oh man we're
healed you know what I'm gonna do I'm
gonna go see my family I'm gonna go to
Disneyland I'm gonna go to the movies
I'm gonna go to the restaurants these
are examples because they weren't able
to be in the city because of their
leprosy so now I can just imagine
they're healed and they're thinking of
everything they're gonna get to do of
everything they're gonna get to
experience because now they're no longer
plagued with the things that they used
to be plagued with
but only one of them when he saw his
freedom when he saw his Deliverance when
he saw his new life
only one of them thought
I'm gonna use my freedom and I'm gonna
use my new life and I'm gonna use the
time that I have now to give glory to
God
only one of them turned back
then one of them when he saw that he was
he'll turn back praising God with a loud
voice and he fell on his face at the
feet of Jesus giving him thanks now he
was a Samaritan you know why the Bible
specifies that he was a Samaritan
because Samaritan people were not Jewish
people Samaritan people were looked at
as people who really didn't know about
God but you know something this man
might have not known the law this man
might have not known the Book of Genesis
for Malachi this man might have not even
known The Ten Commandments but he was
smart enough and he was wise enough he
knew more than them because he knew
enough that when God does something in
your life you humble yourself to God and
you give glory to God
he might have not known as much
biblically
or the letter of the law but he knew
when God does something in your life you
do two things
you humble yourself
and you give him glory
and look what Jesus says
then Jesus answered we're not 10
cleansed where are the nine
was no one found to return and give
praise to God except this Foreigner God
says hold him up those other nine people
they know the Bible those other nine
people they know the word those other
nine people they're from my nation
they're from my people but only a
foreigner in other words somebody who
doesn't know about the things of God
only a foreigner
came to give praise to the Lord and to
give glory to God and look what Jesus
says
and he said to him rise go your way your
faith has made you well your faith in
who your faith in Jesus Christ your
faith in God this man recognized that
Jesus was the Savior and he came and he
humbled himself to Jesus and Jesus
delivered him
well what about the nine
what about the nine I want to show you
that God is not prejudiced I want to
show you that God is Not A Difference
Maker of mankind he gave all of them
healing
but only one return to give him praise
did he revoke the healing of the other
night no he didn't revoke the healing of
the other nine
their healing stayed with them
but they weren't going to get to
experience the fullness of what God had
for them look what our scripture
continues to say John chapter 6 verse
26-29 Jesus is feeding people 4 000
people with fishes and Loaves 5 000
people with fishes and Loaves but he
knows that the people are not following
them because they recognize that he's
the savior he knows that people are
following them because they're hungry in
other words they're just seeking what
they can get why did those other nine
people not return and give glory to God
because now they were so distracted in
the time and in the the things and in
the hobbies and in the people and in the
parties and in the groups that they were
now going to be able to enjoy and be in
because they were no longer plagued with
their sin only one only one use that
free time to give glory to God and Jesus
in this story he's showing us that these
people who's feeding thousands of people
that he's feeding with fishes and bread
he knows that they're not following them
because they love his word or they love
God he knows they're following only
because they're getting something that's
beneficial to them I want to ask you a
question are you just serving the lord
because it's beneficial to you now don't
get me wrong King David even said praise
the Lord O My Soul praise His holy name
and forget not all of the Lord's
benefits I want to let you know that God
does have a lot of benefits but are you
just serving them for the benefits
no it shouldn't be like that like I said
God has a lot of benefits it says he
forgives your sins he covers your
iniquities he heals you of your
sicknesses of your diseases we got
benefits in the Lord
but are we just serving them for the
benefits
that's not how it should be and Jesus
knows that this particular group of
people are just walking with him and
serving them for the benefits and look
what he says Jesus answered him truly
truly I say to you you are seeking me
not because you saw signs but because
you ate your fill of the Loaves and then
Look what Jesus tells them do not work
for the food that perishes but for the
food that endures to eternal life which
the son of man will give to you for on
him God the father has set his seal
Jesus Is Telling these people look I
know you like the bread and I gave you
the bread Jesus gave him the bread with
his full heart with his whole heart but
he's saying look don't just work for the
bread that's gonna perish work for the
bread that does not perish and he calls
himself the bread of life he's saying
don't just work for what's going to
gratify you here on Earth momentarily
but work for what's going to give you
peace and satisfaction for all eternity
in other words if you're gonna live for
something don't just live for something
temporary live for something that's
going to give you victory for all
eternity and you might say but how can I
do that how does that look how can I not
be the 90 how can I be that one person
that 10 percent that turns back how can
I be like that one person who gives
glory to God or how can I be like those
people who don't live for the
gratification of the flesh look what the
Apostle Paul says and this is how we can
apply that in our life look what he said
I have been crucified with Christ it is
no longer I who live but Christ who
lives in me and the life I now live in
the flesh I live by faith in the Son of
God who loved me and gave himself for me
do you know what Paul is saying Paul is
saying I no longer live for my selfish
self
now I live for Jesus Christ
who died for me on the cross and he says
this my life has been crucified with him
in other words his sinful nature his
simple desires he says my life has been
crucified with him now the life that I
have that he gave me I no longer live it
for myself but now I live it for him
Jesus Christ the son of God who saved me
do you know how we can be like the one
who turned back or do you know how we
can be like the people who work for that
bread that's going to give us eternal
life do you know how we can be like that
when we listen to what Paul said
when we understand
the new life that Christ has given me he
didn't give it to me so that I can be
selfish he didn't give it to me so that
I can just forget about God and continue
to live my own life but now I'm free
from the things that God Set Me Free
from now I'm free now I have a lot of
time to spend on myself no
Paul understood
the only reason
I have this new life is because of Jesus
Christ so now that he gave me this new
life I'm gonna use it to give him glory
and to give him honor Paul understood
I live for him now I live to give him
glory now
this doesn't mean quit your job no this
means wherever you go we're meant to be
people who magnify the Lord who give a
good testimony we're meant to be people
who let the light of God shine wherever
we go the Bible says everything you do
do it as unto the Lord
that means in your school place
at your workplace in your neighborhood
at the mall at the grocery store
everywhere you go we're supposed to be
representatives of Jesus Christ
don't be like the 90 or like the 90 that
turned and left and forgot all about God
because they were so distracted in their
own blessing no be like that one who
turn back and humbled himself and praise
God let your life be a life of
humbleness and of praising to God
humbling yourself daily giving him glory
for your new life and of praising to God
always giving God the glory and when
somebody says something about your life
because people are going to speak well
about you tell them it's all because of
the grace of God thank you Jesus it's
all because of him and remember that
it's all because of him give him glory
