The sermon is from Luke 17:11-19 – “Where are the Nine?”  “Then Jesus answered, ‘Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine?’” – Luke 17:17

Thankfulness characterizes Christians who embrace the good news of the Gospel. They have understood the “bad news;” by nature, they are rebels who have broken God’s moral law and who deserve eternal punishment in hell. But by the grace of God, they now understand the “good news;” God loves sinners enough to send his Son to bear the wrath they deserve and to free them from the cursed load of sin. Little wonder Paul writes to Christians, “… give thanks in all circumstances …” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). One person wrote, “I cried to him in time of need: Lord God, O hear my calling! For death he gave me life indeed and kept my feet from falling. For this my thanks shall endless be; O thank him, thank our God with me, To God all praise and glory!” This Thanksgiving, let us begin on earth what will occupy our time forever in heaven.
