—Luke 7:1-10
by: Steven James.
The centurion's bold faith is shown by his knowing that his dear and sick servant could be healed by just a pronouncement from the lips of our Lord. He was obviously humble; he felt unworthy to have Jesus personally come into his home. His humility was also demonstrated by not personally coming before Jesus, but by sending leaders of Jesus' "religion" to speak on his behalf. Sometimes we need to ask others to go to God on our behalf. We also need to remember from whom we are seeking a blessing: not a genie in a bottle, but God Almighty, who has the authority to touch our lives in incredible ways.
