“Then Jesus went with them. And when He was already not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, ‘Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof. Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.’
When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, ‘I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!’ And those who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well who had been sick.” [1]
Jesus authorized the Centurion’s servant to be healed and it was done. He also commended the centurion's faith in the hearing of those around Him. Jesus marveled at the man because He was not a Jew. He was a Gentile! Yet, He had greater faith in the Jewish Messiah than many of His own people.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God! He has authority and power over all created things. In fact, He created and sustains all creation...
“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, dominions, principalities, or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.” [2]
“Thank You Lord Jesus for creating us, sustaining us, and caring for us. Thank You for all the miraculous healings of human bodies that You have done throughout the ages and for the healing You will be doing today around the world. All praise, glory and blessing be unto You. We marvel at Your great love for us!”
