One Year Bible Reading Day 84: Got Faith?

 ⁹ When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to the crowd that was following him, he said, “I tell you, I haven’t seen faith like this in all Israel!” ¹⁰ And when the officer’s friends returned to his house, they found the slave completely healed.  Luke 7:9-10


Here is a Centurion who commanded somewhere around 100 men.  He knew what he could do with the authority given to him, but he also knew that if he could do what he could do on his own, how much more could Jesus do because of the authority given to Him.


What can we learn from the faith of the Centurion?  Well, some scholars believe that what Jesus says in verse 10 foreshadows the entry of the Gentiles into the kingdom of God.  Jesus commends the Centurion(who is a Gentile) for his humble faith(vs 6.).  This is one of the few places where Jesus commends the way in which someone approaches Him.


Where is your faith at today?  Faith is the belief in the things unseen. . . .The Centurion had not even seen Jesus yet, but BELIEVED that He had the power and authority to heal.  Don't forget, Jesus knew his name and knows YOUR NAME.

One Thing Challenge:  May we BELIEVE that God has the AUTHORITY and POWER to heal you today . . . .and it starts with your heart!
