Thanksgiving Message Summary — “The One Who Returned”

As Jesus healed ten men with leprosy, all experienced the same miracle — but only one came back with gratitude. Scripture uses a surprising detail to show the difference: all ten were cleansed, but only the one who returned in thanksgiving was told, “Your faith has made you whole.” The word Jesus uses means more than physical healing. It speaks of restoration, salvation, and complete well-being. This Thanksgiving, the story reminds us that gratitude doesn’t just acknowledge a blessing — it brings us back to the Blesser. Nine received a miracle and kept walking. One returned, worshiped, and entered deeper relationship. Gratitude opens the heart to more than what God provides; it draws us closer to who He is. #gingerbeady #drginger #drgingerbeady
