Passage: Matthew 8:5-13
A Roman centurion approaches Jesus on behalf of his beloved servant, demonstrating faith in Christ’s authority to heal from a distance. Jesus marvels at this cross‑cultural trust—greater, He says, than any He’s found in Israel—highlighting that humility and faith transcend ethnic and social barriers. This message explores the centurion’s humility as a model for approaching Christ with fearless trust. It will challenge us to identify our own faith barriers and place our confidence entirely in Jesus’ sovereign power.
