Luke 17:17-19 ESV
Then Jesus answered, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?” And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.”
Ten lepers were cleansed. Only one was healed and made whole. That was the one who recognized and placed his trust, or faith, in God. This one was made well. The other nine were not.
They were cleansed on their way to the priests, but they did not turn back to the Lord. They were chosen by the Lord to be made clean, but a gentile was the only one who turned around. So it was and so it is.
Israel will not see see Jesus until they recognize Him as Lord. We all walk with a veil over our eyes that blinds us from the truth until we turn to the Lord and place our faith in Him. That faith makes us whole.
