—Luke 7:1-10

The centurion’s kindness to the Jews was demonstrated by his actions, “He loves our nation, and has built us a synagogue”(v.5, NKJV), which was then accompanied by faith in Jesus. The centurion loved his servant who “was dear to him” (v.2, NKJV). He did not allow his power or position in life to elevate him above others. He was humble and did not consider himself worthy to go to Jesus or for Jesus to come to his house. Recognizing our unworthiness, hence our need for Jesus, is true humility. In our humility, we must also recognize the power of Jesus and what He can do for us and share Him with others.
