The centurion believed that Jesus has authority to say something, then it will be done.
Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.” And his servant was healed at that moment.
He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases (Isaiah 53:4)
Why?
- Jesus responds to human need. Teaching preaching and healing go together;
- his authority is expressed in what he says and what he does.
- The leper. To the Jew lepers were unclean, untouchable. Jesus could have healed the man with a look, or a word - instead he reaches out and touches him.
The Centurion's boy. Jesus' mission is to Israel, but nowhere among his own people has he found faith to equal that of the Roman officer who recognized authority when he saw it.
How?
Jesus is my Lord, trust in Him. Be courage to follow him and do what Jesus said.
