Ten men with leprosy came to Jesus, but only one was thoroughly cleansed.  Of course, physical illness and disease is real, but when the soul also is healed a complete healing takes place.  All the Samaritan lepers had faith in Jesus, but one had an exceptional faith.  The response to Jesus working in our lives completely should be a life of thanksgiving.  When we truly see what God has done for each of us it has to have an affect.

Luke 17:11-19

¹¹ Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. ¹² As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy^[b] met him. They stood at a distance ¹³ and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”

 ¹⁴ When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed.

 ¹⁵ One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. ¹⁶ He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.

 ¹⁷ Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? ¹⁸ Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” ¹⁹ Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”
