How have you thanked God for the gifts you have received? With a lack of historical context, we often see condemnation of the nine lepers that didn't thank Jesus for curing them rather than celebrating the faith of the foreigner. However, a closer look at with historical context shows that the nine lepers hadn't really done anything wrong, and in fact, were probably obeying the law of God. However, the faith of the foreigner separates him from the nine. Mitch gives us the historical background, helping us to see how we might be taking for granted the gifts God has given us.
