To give you some context, Jesus had just finished His Sermon on the Mount and was passing through Capernaum. Word must’ve gotten out that He was there because a Roman centurion sent Jewish leaders to find Jesus. Centurions were Roman officers who were in charge of 100 soldiers, and it was very unlikely, bizarre even, to find one hanging out with Je...
When the Jewish leaders meet Jesus they beg Him to come to heal a servant on behalf of the centurion. After saying this, Jesus and his entourage follow them. It’s strange, however, that it looks like the centurion’s worthiness, love, and works, are what motivate Jesus to follow. It’s sad that this part of the passage is what most people are living ...
Just as the centurion recognizes how unworthy he is and how worthy Jesus is, he also knows that Jesus has the ultimate authority. Remember, this centurion had 100 soldiers under his command. He was wealthy enough to build a synagogue. He could have chosen to bribe or threaten Jesus. But he didn’t. He believes that Jesus is who He says He is, and th...
The centurion came to Jesus with humility and acknowledging His authority by faith. What even is faith? How does it affect our relationship with Jesus? Faith is believing in something, even if it hasn’t been proven or come true yet. The centurion made the healing of his servant a reality by putting his faith in Jesus, who has proven that what is un...
In other versions, the Bible says that Jesus was amazed, and for good reason. In all of Israel, the people who know of the wondrous works of God, Jesus could not find a more faith-filled person. And He said it right in front of everyone. Because of the centurion’s faith, we see Jesus marvel, and we remember that the only other time Jesus was amazed...
Throughout this story, the centurion only ever approached Jesus with humility, faith, and love. The centurion didn’t even view himself as worthy enough to go and meet Jesus or make Him walk all the way to his house, instead he humbled himself and trusted Jesus. He believed in who Jesus was, knowing that his faith gave God room to move and heal in b...
Aug 17, 2022 · The things Jesus said were true, and He was who He claimed to be. It is remarkable that the centurion recognized Jesus’ true identity and that he did so when Jesus died. Some refused to recognize Jesus was the Son of God even after He was raised from the dead.
The centurion saw Jesus’ pain and suffering, he heard every word that Jesus spoke, and, when Jesus took His last breath, the centurion gave glory to God. Then, the centurion looked upon Jesus hanging lifeless on the cross and accurately summed up all that he had seen with the proclamation: “surely this was a righteous man.” (Luke 23:47)
Jun 1, 2010 · Jesus, the "founder and perfecter of our faith" (Hebrews 12:2), once marveled at the faith he found in a man. And it's the only instance that the gospels record such a response from Jesus (Matthew 8:5-13; Luke 7:1-10).
Oct 29, 2011 · Did Jesus tell Peter he would deny him at the Mt. of Olives (Mark, Matthew) or during the Last Supper (Luke and John)? Luke has Jesus’ birth in 6 AD when Quirinius was governor of Syria, while Matthew has it before 4 BC when Herod died.
