Coloring Pages: Jesus and the Lepers
A Lesson in Faith and Gratitude
The Healing of the Leper
Jesus' healing of the leper is a powerful story that teaches us about the compassion of God and the importance of faith. In this story, a man with leprosy, an outcast from society, approached Jesus and begged for healing. Jesus, moved with compassion, touched the man and declared him clean.
The Ten Lepers
Another story involving lepers is the healing of the ten lepers. Jesus encountered ten lepers who stood at a distance, calling out to him for mercy. Jesus commanded them to show themselves to the priests, and as they went, they were cleansed. However, only one of the ten returned to thank Jesus.
These stories highlight the contrast between faith and ingratitude. The leper who was healed alone showed true faith in Jesus by returning to thank him. His gratitude demonstrated his understanding of the magnitude of the miracle he had experienced.
Conclusion
The stories of Jesus and the lepers remind us that God's love extends to all, even those who are marginalized and despised. They also teach us about the importance of having faith in God and expressing gratitude for his blessings. May these coloring pages serve as a reminder of these profound lessons and inspire us to live lives filled with compassion and gratitude.
