2 Chronicles 21:1-22:12; Ezekiel 40:1-49; John 17:1-26
And one of [the lepers], when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God. Luke 17:15
Loud, in the Greek is “mega.” Voice is “ph?n?.” Literally, this verse says the man glorified God with a loud voice—a megaphone! That is particularly touching, because one of the side effects of leprosy is a damaged larynx. In healing this leper, the Lord Jesus had restored his voice. What was the first thing the well man did? Praised God! We who are saved have been healed from a disease far worse than leprosy. For what purpose do we use our voice? Let us praise God! —Lynn Shatford
Rejoice, the Lord is King:
Rejoice, give thanks and sing.
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice:
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice! —Charles Wesley
