UNIFYING LESSON PRINCIPLE:
Everyone has desperate needs at times that cause her or him to wonder if any help is available. To whom can Christians turn for help that makes a difference? The centurion’s faith in Jesus Christ as the great healer made all the difference in meeting his need to see his servant healed.
CONCLUDING REFLECTION:
The centurion’s faith opens the window for several significant principles for believers. First, a sterling example of compassion for those who are suffering. Second, a great example of liberality. Third, the deep appreciation of the people who were willing to intercede on behalf of a man who was not one of them. Finally, in the example of Jesus, we see firsthand the power of the spoken word to heal anyone regardless of where he/she is.
PRAYER:
Heavenly Father, may we learn to trust You completely without any reservations. Grant to Your servants the power to speak words of life to those who are dying spiritually. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
