Luke 7:1-10:
That the centurion is not a Jew is important to this story as is the fact that he is a good and kind man who has found favor with the Jewish people. He seeks the compassion of Jesus but feeling undeserving of being in Jesus’ presence or having Jesus in his home, he sends messengers in the hope that Jesus will cure his slave from a distance. Jesus senses this man’s tremendous faith and heals the slave by his word.
I am thankful to be reminded by this unlikely character of the disposition I must have each time I come to your table. I am not worthy.
