The faith of the CENTURION

This is one of my very favorite Bible passages! It shows that when we come to Jesus with confidence, humility and deep love, He will listen and our prayers will be answered!
The roman centurion is such a noble character! Full of dignity, kindness and selfless love for his servant.To him it did not mater that had to travel and with humility ask the Lord a personal favor! He came still and he believed without doubting even one second!
What a faith! What an example to all of us! Are we ready to believe in the very same way? Lets cast out unbelief from our heart!
Bible reference
Matthew 8:5-13
Healing of the Captain’s Servant
5 Jesus came to the city of Capernaum. A captain of the army came to Him. He asked for help, 6 saying, “Lord, my servant is sick in bed. He is not able to move his body. He is in much pain.” 7 Jesus said to the captain, “I will come and heal him.” 8 The captain said, “Lord, I am not good enough for You to come to my house. Only speak the word, and my servant will be healed. 9 I am a man who works for someone else and I have men working under me. I say to this man, ‘Go!’ and he goes. I say to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”
10 When Jesus heard this, He was surprised and wondered about it. He said to those who followed Him, “For sure, I tell you, I have not found so much faith in the Jewish nation. 11 I say to you, many people will come from the east and from the west. They will sit down with Abraham and with Isaac and with Jacob in the holy nation of heaven. 12 But those who should have belonged to the holy nation of heaven will be thrown out into outer darkness, where there will be crying and grinding of teeth.” 13 Jesus said to the captain, “Go your way. It is done for you even as you had faith to believe.” The servant was healed at that time.
