Bible Lesson: Jesus had been teaching and performing miracles, his reputation was well known. In the city of Capernaum he met a Roman officer, a centurion, who had authority over a large group of soldiers. The centurion asked Jesus to heal his paralyzed servant. When Jesus agreed to go to his home and heal the servant, the centurion said he was not worthy to have Jesus in his home. He believed that all Jesus had to do was say it and the servant would be healed.Jesus spoke to those following him and said that the centurion had shown great faith. In fact although he was a Roman citizen, he had shown more faith than many Jews. Some Jews thought, that because they were God’s chosen people, they would automatically enter heaven. Jesus said that is not so, many would find themselves in darkness, weeping and gnashing their teeth. Because of the centurion’s unwavering faith Jesus healed the servant.Real Talk: Take a moment to look at the character of the centurion. He was compassionate and empathetic because the request he made to Jesus was not for himself. He was humble, he was not worthy to have Jesus in his home. Although he had authority as a military officer he understood that Jesus’ authority was greater. He had faith. As a Roman citizen (Gentile) he was not subject to the authority, religion or customs of Jewish culture. Yet when faced with a situation beyond his control he turned to Jesus for help. Look at how Jesus responded. He immediately recognized the centurion’s situation and agreed to help his servant. He used the situation as a moment to teach. He let the crowd with him know that in difficult times we should rely on our faith in the Father for help. He reinforced the centurion’s steadfast faith by simply speaking.

People take shelter in a basement when tornados strike. Difficult situations can seem like tornados in our lives. Jesus is our shelter when we face difficult times. He promised he would always take care of us, when just need to ask.Review: books of the Old Testament : books of the New Testament . : Tell someone one thing that’s hard for you or you’re sad about right now.
