Matthew 8: 5- 13
The centurion replied, "Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and that one, 'Come,' and he comes. I say to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."
When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said to those following him, "I tell you the truth, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go! It will be done just as you believed it would." And his servant was healed at that very hour.
That above about the centurion is other foreigner.He is not Israel. He works as leader for war. Centurion can be called as warrior. Actually,the centurion proud and control all people should follow him about war.A centurion looks like a boss.But he didn't.
The centurion has a servant who sick paralyzed and in terrible suffering.A centurion also know and feel terrible suffering by servant.A servant felt painful and a centurion also painful.A centurion wants heal a servant but haven't manner of healing.
A centurion heard gossip about Jesus.Jesus is healer.Then a centurion go and seeks Jesus.When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help."Lord," he said, "my servant lies at home paralyzed and in terrible suffering."
Jesus said to him, "I will go and heal him.". A centurion replied to Jesus,do not go and just say the word, and my servant will be healed . A centurion ask, what Jesus wants me go and come,I will follow.When Jesus said to the centurion go far,the centurion also can go far ( obey Jesus said).Listen Jesus's words than world.When Jesus tells a centurion and follow Jesus tells.It is because a centurion already believe Jesus's word/say.Don't be doubt the words of God.If doubt the words of God you be lost of faith. A centurion looks humble man.
We not enough of faith because of hear of gossip by people,like world, sins.So that can't see of faith.
If you have faith then love.If you are not faith mean not love and hard to go to the church.A centurion looks love a servant because the servant sick paralyzed.Love= helpful, take care like as a centurion take care of his servant.When a difficult time but also love. Love = no negative, best no thinking.
Then Jesus said to centurion, I tell you the truth, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.It mean a centurion has a great faith. Then Jesus give a word and go back your home and give to servant to be heal.A centurion is going back his house and servant was healed.
A centurion seeks Jesus because of believe. So who christian have problem find Jesus through Pastor.Pastor will help you.
By the ways, here for 3 key are Humble, Faith and Love.
Amen!
