Is this disobedience???

 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; and he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan.(Luke 17:15-16 ESV)
When the one leper realized he had been healed, he returned to worship and thank Jesus.  The others kept on going.  Is this one disobeying what Jesus had told Him to do? No, as we will see He later on continues what he was doing (going to the priest).  Like the one who is giving his offerning and realizes he is not right with his brother, He is to leave that act and go do something more pressing, more important - give thanks.  How often we put that on the back burner and hope to get back to it. Jesus is on the move. By the time they would get back to town He would be gone, and the opportunity to express thanks gone as well.  Let us never miss the opportunity to praise, worship and thank Him.
