     | 1,637 views

    The Lord Jesus had many wonderful things about Him that we can’t help but admire.

    The Bible tells us that every day Jesus went about doing good. He did that in several ways, for example: • He healed the sick • He fed the hungry But he did something else that we overlook when we consider all the good things He did. HE TALKED WITH PEOPLE. But He not only talked to people, He ...read more

    A marvellous faith was not the only virtue possessed by the Centurion whose slave was healed by Christ.

    Jesus has just spent the better portion of His day healing the multitudes that flocked to him and, on a plain in the countryside near Capernaum, He had delivered a long sermon. We find our chapter beginning with the close of that sermon. Verse 1, “He had completed all His discourse in the ...read more

    A Roman soldier, part of the army occupying Israel at the time, asked if Jesus would heal the soldier's servant. How Jesus responded is one of the classic passages of Scripture!

    Background: Jesus has just recently delivered the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7), then healed the leper (Matt 8:1-4). Now He is approached by a Roman centurion (leader of 100 men) who asked Jesus for help. What would Jesus do, or say, in this situation? The text comes from Matthew’s Gospel, ...read more

    The story of this Centurion is listed in 3 of the Gospels because God wants us to see what he saw. What did the centurion see that day, and why did he cry out "Surely this was the Son of God"?

    In the days of Jesus the most feared soldiers on the face of the earth were those of the Legions Of Rome. These men were practically invincible. It seemed to no nation of the day could stand against them. And one of the reasons they were so powerful and so feared was because their armies were led ...read more
