The Centurion (Repost)Getting one last submission in just under the wire for #JuneForJesus
One of my favorite passages - but also one of the most baffling to me - is the account of Jesus' interaction with a Roman Centurion whose servant had fallen very ill. The Centurion sent for Jesus, believing that He had the power to heal the sick. Declaring that he wasn't even worthy to have Jesus come into his home, he asked simply the the word be spoken, knowing that would be sufficient for the miracle of healing to be performed. It's said that Jesus marveled at the man's faith, stating that He had not found the likes of it in all of Israel. Whenever I read or hear of this account, I'm reminded of how seldom I even come close to measuring up to this enormous example of faith. May we all remember the one in whom our faith is worthy to be placed, may our faith be exercised and increased, and may we ever give praise and honor to the Lord.Jun 30, 2026

All I can think of when I hear Centurion is Battlestar Galactica (the original one) 
I don't know if it would be prideful to say this, but I feel like I kinda have faith like that... I mean, I pray for something and then I just believe it's gonna happen. Like that one part of the Bible where Jesus says if you ask for something and believe without a doubt it will happen, then it will happen. Then I start to doubt myself for what I'm asking or for assuming God's gonna give it to me just cuz I believe He will. I mean, it sounds kinda selfish if I'm being honest
Idk, maybe I'm stupid.

This looks amazing!!
And I really like this one as well, it’s a great example of faith and the understanding of what it means to have it. The Roman Centurion (actually didn’t know he was called that in English, interesting) knew that if Jesus said it it would happen, just like how he would say things to his servants or soldiers under him to follow his orders and he would without doubt know they would do it and it would be done, because that’s how it works, it’s amazing how he saw and understood the authority of Jesus and that he fully believed from the words alone.
(Sorry for possible grammar mistakes, hopefully what I wrote makes sense haha)
