Many months ago I taught a Sunday School lesson on the subject concerning a Roman centurion that had a sick servant. This guy understood authority and the chain of command. His servant suffered from a paralysis that was very painful and described as violent. ( I would like to inject right here, that I to suffer from pain so sharp that it paralyzes my entire body. Also takes my breath). Anyway this centurion talking to Jesus responded to Him about a visit to the centurions house.
You can heal my servant by merely speaking the word right here, without a visit. The centurion explained to Jesus how he understood authority. This Roman was correct. Jesus marved at the faith of this soldier.Christ then explained how the sons of the kingdom ( jews) who
were never truly converted while while some of the world's most vile savages (gentiles)
would believe the gospel. The unconverted Jews to go to hell, while the believing savages to go to heaven.
What's my point. The point is, all people acting religious are not saved. And sometimes God saves the least of us.
My prayer: righteous prayer moves mans. Father, in the name of Christ, I ask u remove all mtns from my life. Heal me and guide my steps down your paths. And heal those that are my friends from their diseases, for your glory and honor. Amen.
