Jesus Answers 9 Essential QuestionsPrøve

Is God real? Here Jesus has an interaction with a career soldier that leaves Jesus “amazed.” Wouldn’t you love to say or do something that amazes the most amazing person who ever walked the earth? At the heart of the officer’s startling response to Jesus is a simple truth: He believes Jesus is God. That means he believes Jesus has both the power and authority to do the impossible—to heal his beloved servant who is “sick and near death.” Only God can do such a thing, and the centurion knows it. So he does something that delights Jesus: He simply acts on what he knows to be true and asks Jesus for the kind of help only God can give.
