The Story of Your Life

Speaker: Rev. Raleigh Sims


Scripture Focus: Luke 17:11-19


Service Summary: We know a lot about some of the
people in today’s Readings. We could write a typical biography of
Ruth, for example, because we know her family’s names and even
that she was an ancestor of Jesus. Last week we learned that
Timothy, the addressee of today’s Epistle, had a Christian mother
and grandmother, and is now a young pastor. But all that we know
about the leper who thanked Jesus in today’s Gospel is that he
was a Samaritan. Yet that is sufficient, for only through his
faith in our Lord was he truly saved, not from leprosy only, but
from his sins and his sinfulness. He was ready to live in thanks
and praise of his Savior and ours. What’s the story of your life?
We were dead in sins but now are alive in Christ Jesus. May God
strengthen you to share His love as the story of your life
continues to unfold.
