Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.”

And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”

The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

When Jesus heard it, He marvelled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!" Matthew 8:5-13

Anyone can recognise who Jesus is.  The Centurion was one of the most unlikely people in the world to believe.  There are many people who the thought of acknowledging and honouring Jesus is incredible.  Jesus marvelled, and so do I.

PRAYER:  Please do wonderful things and open the eyes of those that appear tightly shut.
