Matthew 8:5 - 8:13

Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In this passage, Steve Gregg tells the story of a centurion who asks for Jesus' help in healing his sick servant. Despite being a Gentile, the centurion displays remarkable humility and faith in Jesus' ability to heal. Jesus is amazed by the centurion's faith and uses this as an opportunity to teach about the importance of faith in one's relationship with God, stating that Gentiles with faith will be accepted into the kingdom of God while those without faith, including some Jews, will be rejected. This story demonstrates the power of faith and the ability of even those seemingly "outside" the faith to access God's grace.
