The Thankful Leper
Use this animated video to teach kids about the healing of a leper in Luke 17:11-19 ‘Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed. One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”’
Join a healed leper as he tells Peter why he is thankful and how Jesus changes lives. Kids will learn that we should take the time to thank Jesus for the changes He has made in our lives. Don't forget to say, “Thank you.”
