Jesus heals ten lepers and yet only one comes back to thank Jesus and to praise God. What happened to the Samaritan that is different than what took place for the other nine? The difference is that the Samaritan was not just healed of his skin disease, his life was changed. He was made WHOLE through his encounter with Jesus.

Christians around the world are celebrating with us today in the Sacrament of Holy Communion.
In telling the parable of the Great Banquet, Jesus is telling the people at the Pharisee’s house that God’s Kingdom is bigger than they ever thought. God’s Kingdom would include people they would never have accepted. God’s Kingdom would include the poor, the outcast, the Gentiles. Jesus is telling the people at the Pharisee’s house if they reject salvation through God’s Messiah, then they will have no part in the Great Banquet of God.
