Bible Lesson 25
Diez Leprosos, y El Fin – Ten Lepers, and the End
First here we see a story of Jesus’ compassion on ten men with leprosy. All ten are healed, though only the Samaritan, the hated enemy of the Jews, returns to say thank you. May we be like him!
Then the scene shifts to a question about the coming Kingdom of God. The Jews were expecting the Messiah to conquer and expel the Romans, so that they could have their own Kingdom of Israel again. But Jesus warns them that things will not be as they expect:
Their King will be rejected, and suffer and die before the Kingdom is established.
The Kingdom will come unexpectedly, while everyone is going about their business.
The Kingdom will not begin and spread from some physical location on earth. Rather, it will be immediate and in all locations at once. God’s people will be taken to be with him, and the others will be left.
May we all be ready!
