"More Than Gravy" - Luke 17:11-19 - (November 22, 2023 - Thanksgiving Eve)
I love a phrase from Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol. Scrooge says to Marley’s ghost, “There’s more gravy than of the grave about you.” Scrooge doesn’t believe what he sees standing before him, namely Marley’s ghost. He thinks the apparition is caused by some bad foo he ate. This thanksgiving, I’m sure more than one of us will be like Scrooge, not believing what we’re seeing because we are more stuffed than the turkey we ate.
The traditional Gospel text for Thanksgiving is from Luke 17 about the healing of the Lepers. As we read it, our attention is specifically drawn to the Samaritan leper as the one who returned to give thanks to Jesus. Luke makes sure we know that this leper is a Samaritan.
