God has revealed to the nations His saving power, as Psalm 98 proclaims.
It happened when Naaman came to Israel seeking a cure for his skin disease. After the disappointment of being told by Elisha to bathe in the Jordan River, he praises God for curing him, and devotes his life to praising God alone.
So it happens with a Samaritan in a group of lepers. He alone returns to Jesus to offer praise and thanks for his healing.
Jesus commends this Samaritan for the faith which he expresses in giving thanks.
It is a faith that God has brought ultimate healing through the salvation that comes in Jesus Christ, Who heals us from our sins. Free from sin, we can devote our lives to living for His praise.
