In Matthew chapter 8, Jesus has been traveling around the Sea of Galilee scattering miracles, healings, and teaching communities about His father. News of Christ's miracles spreads.
(Art from Art Bible)
A Roman official, a centurion’s messenger appeals to Jesus, asking for Him to heal his servant at home. Jesus says, “I will come and heal him.” – but the messenger replies, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but only say the word and my servant will be healed.” I can just feel Jesus’ excitement, and awe of His Father’s work – as He hears of a Roman official’s unexpected faith. I can hear Him pause, to praise His Father, and then say:
Yes, God can work in the heart of a Roman official, yes God can move mountains, yes God can do all things. Are we asking Him, thanking Him and Praising Him for ALL His work?
