LIVING FAITH

Matthew 8:13

Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour.

Personal Challenge

Talk about practical, living faith. The centurion knew that Jesus would be able to exercise His power of healing from anywhere and at any time. He knew that Jesus was not bound by time on distance. He believed this so deeply that He did not want to infringe upon Jesus and the work that He was doing by asking Him to come to His home to heal his servant. This centurion was not any different than all of the rest of us except for the amount of his faith. As I look at my own life I must ask myself whether or not I have this kind of faith. This is the kind of faith that can truly move mountains. And as we can see from the behavior of the centurion it is possible for every one of us to exercise this kind of faith. Glory be to God.
