“You will show me the path of life…” Ps 16:11
Intro: starting out on the path to real comfort
Q2: How many things must you know to live and die in the joy of this comfort?
A: Three:
first, how great my sin and misery are;
second, how I am delivered from all my sins and misery;
third, how I am to thank God for such deliverance.

The role of experience

A doctor’s visit

Her “husband” - sin & misery
The grand result - gratitude
III. Jesus leads the ten lepers down the path
“have mercy on us!” - sin & misery
“Show yourself to the priest” - deliverance
and he fell on his face at His feet… gratitude
