"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.'... Jesus said to him, 'Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.'" (Matthew 8:8, 13)
Authority and Faith
The Centurion understood authority. He knew Jesus commanded the spiritual realm just as he commanded soldiers. Jesus marveled at this faith, noting He hadn't found such faith even in Israel.
Key Lesson: Great faith recognizes Jesus' absolute authority. We simply need to trust His word.
