This is one of my favorite accounts of Jesus’ healing power. The faith of the centurion and his recognition of the power Jesus had is remarkable. From what we are told, until this interaction, Jesus had only healed in-person. It was a touch or personal interaction that brought about healing. Now we witness the power of Jesus as He declared the servant healed from a distance. How does this encourage you to ask for healing in your own life or for someone you care about? What would it take for you to have faith like this centurion?
