| No matter how strong your faith is, the loss of a loved one hurts deeply. Even Jesus wept at the grave of his friend Lazarus, and He was only moments away from raising him from the dead! Imagine how devastating it must have been to the Apostles when the first of their number was martyred–James, the son of Zebedee. This song ponders how James' brother John might have felt afterward. |
Based on Luke 17:11-19, this song tells the story of a Samaritan leper who hung around with nine Jewish lepers. Although, racial tensions normally kept Samaritans and Jews apart, in this case their common affliction brought them together. Once that disease was healed by Jesus Christ, they separated again, as one went to give thanks to Jesus and nine did not.

Someday we'll all know the truth about Christ. The Bible says in Philippians 2:10-11 that "at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." The truth is out there - do you want it while you can still do something about it or when it's too late? |
