Luke 7: 1-10 (Monday, September 17, 2007)

Jesus Christ praises the faith of the centurion in today’s gospel. He says, “not even in Israel have I found such faith.” The faith of the centurion led to the healing of his slave. He believed that Jesus Christ can heal his slave. One of the amazing testimonies in this event is that, the centurion recognized first his unworthiness to receive Jesus Christ under his roof and at the same time, he believes in the power of the “Word” of Jesus. “But say the word and let my servant be healed.” There is power in the word of Jesus. Jesus’ words are healing, they are peace, they are joy, and they are fulfilling. The bible says, “By his stripes, we are healed.” He is the greatest physician. He wants to heal us of our diseases; we only need to invite him to say that word of healing, that we may be healed.

Prayer:
Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, only say the word and I shall be healed.
