Jesus Heals 10 Lepers

May 01, 2023 Season 3 Episode 1

David and Mary Nelson

Then men with leprosy met Jesus as he was passing through Samaria on his way to Jerusalem. Jesus told the men to go to a priest and be declared clean. As the men were making their way to find a priest, they realised that they had been healed of their leprosy. Nine of the men continued on to find a priest. Only one of the men, a Samaritan, returned to thank Jesus and give praises to God.

We should express thanks to God and to others.

Bible verses used in this episode:

Outline:

Jesus met by 10 lepers in Samaria (Luke 17:11-13)

Tips for teaching:

Help students understand leprosy and what that meant in these times.
Younger children can write the verse or "Thank You" on a bandaid/plaster and use it as a sticker.
Practice gratitude by listing blessings from God.
Write thank-you notes to people who have blessed you.
As a teacher of an adult class, be sure to prepare your own heart by praying and thanking God for blessings in your life.
Provide post-it notes so adults can write blessings on each and then attach them to a wall. After talking about these blessings, divide them up and pray about them.
Adults and older children can begin a "gratitude journal" by jotting blessings down each day.
