Be The One
Two of the easiest words to say in the English language are two of the most neglected — they are the words “Thank you.” For those of us who are Christians, they should be among the most spoken words in our vocabulary. You see, an ungrateful Christian is an oxymoron. God’s people should be the most grateful that any person would encounter anywhere. In our text today, Jesus addresses ingratitude in a powerful way. It opens with Jesus making His way back to Jerusalem where He knows He will be crucified. He is traveling along the border between Samaria and Galilee, when he enters a village. It is in this village that Jesus has a very important encounter. Let’s see what our Lord wants us to take away from it.
