Saved for

Saturday October 20th, Luke 17: 17-19 Jesus said, "Were not ten healed? Where are the nine? Can none be found to come back and give glory to God except this outsider?" Then he said to him, "Get up. On your way. Your faith has healed and saved you." When we think saved, we often think saved from. Perhaps the real gift is when we are saved for. Perhaps this outsider was saved for the purpose of showing the way to the insiders. Perhaps this outsider was saved for the purpose of showing the way to other outsiders. When we turn to give thanks, we open a bit more to what God wants to do in our lives.
