Luke 7:1-10
What kind of faith do any of us have in Jesus? Do we truly believe? The centurion truly believed in Jesus and his power to heal his servant. The centurion thought himself unworthy of Jesus’ help. But he believed in Jesus’ ability and love so much that he told Jesus that his servant would be healed by Jesus’ word only. Jesus did not need to go to the centurion’s house.
In our day and age I wonder about our faith, don’t you? What do you have faith in? I have faith that my car will start when I start it. I know that the refrigerator will run. I am certain that the price of gas will increase. I believe that the surgeon will repair me. I have faith in the plumber to fix the pipes in my house. I have seen all of these things transpire.
But how well do I believe that things will transpire that I do not see? Do I have the faith in Jesus that He would heal my “servant” or my friend just by saying so? We say we believe this.
However, my guess is that we really have more faith in our cars.
