When
Jesus
Heard
This,
He
Was Amazed.
Scripture
Matthew
8
5 When
Jesus returned to Capernaum, a Roman officer came and pleaded with
him, 6 “Lord, my young servant lies in bed, paralyzed and
in terrible pain.”
8 But
the officer said, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come into my
home. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be
healed.
9 I know
this because I am under the authority of my superior officers, and I
have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say, ‘Go,’ and
they go, or ‘Come,’ and they come. And if I say to my slaves, ‘Do
this,’ they do it.”
Observation
I
don't know about you, but I want to have this kind of faith!
I
love this story!
The
Roman officer, a centurion, believed that Jesus could heal his sick
and paralyzed servant from a distance.
Jesus
offered to go to his home and heal the servant, but the centurion
said to Him, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come into my home.
Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed.”
Who
needs for us to talk to Jesus on their behalf?
Lets
do it with this kind of amazing faith!
Application
I
will pray for people, believing that my God can heal them no matter
where they are! How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, help me to have the kind of amazing faith like the centurion
had when he asked Jesus to heal his servant. Lord, I know that the
only reason that I am still alive today is because so many people
prayed for me and You answered their prayers. It was their amazing
faith in You that saved me. They refused to give up even when the
doctors gave very little hope that I would make it. I am so glad that
people did not stop praying for me. Give me that kind of faith! I
know that the same Power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead lives
in me!
