Jesus was surprised that after he had healed ten lepersonly one of them turned to give thanks, and that was the Samaritan.
Others, perhaps because of the enthusiasm, the joy of healing, which entailed givingleprosy appeared and he was able to return to a normal life from people, they forgot who healed them. It can be understood, but not justified.
To the extent that Jesus He asks, surprised, where the nine were. And it was the healing of something that is disgusting to humans, contagious and with disastrous physical consequences for humans. There was no medical cure for it. And they had to live in places far from the cities. And when they went on busy roads, they had to ring the bell, so that people would move away.
The very fact that Jesus approached them, touched their heads and shoulders, he will utter a powerful blessing healing, and to stay with them until the healing begins and send them where they can record the healing, it was a unique gesture.
Giving thanks is a noble gesture human being. it implies to recognize that I cannot do it alone, that I need others. That I am not enough on my own and that others help me solve the problem. It is the recognition that the other person gave his time, his property, his position or responsibility, his own being, something of value that helped me face the difficulty and successfully come out of it; leave behind the pain, solve the deficiency, be better. This implies recognizing that there is a debt to another, and that even if nothing is asked of me in return, there is a moral obligation to give back with something born from my soul, from my grateful heart And that is saying the word thank you with love and respect! Saying thank you is basically giving a blessing, it is saying that I love you, that I appreciate you very much, that I will not forget the favor, that I wish you the best. If I can, I’ll do something similar with him. It is a return of the favor he has done for me as a spiritual good. It makes the other person feel good about what they have done.
We must always be grateful, above all to God and the people who helped us, and never forget the favors received. And say the word thank you with enthusiasm, with sincerity, with nobility, ensuring that we will always be willing return good to good. Being grateful means having a good heart, which recognizes the good received. Let’s be thankful like the Samaritan who returned to thank Jesus.
