Jesus Heals a Centurion's Paralyzed Servant in Capernaum
There are two miracles in this story. The first is obvious: the centurion's servant healed. But there's a second miracle. The miracle of the centurion, an overseer of Roman soldiers who are the oppressors of the Jewish people, demonstrates a faith that Jesus declares he has not seen in anyone in Israel. I wonder if we limit encounters with the miraculous solely with people we like or admire. But what if an encounter with the God of miracles is possible for our enemy?
Questions for Reflection
- What does this tell you about Jesus and his Kingdom that the miraculous happened for someone no one would expect?
- How do you imagine the Jewish audience reacted after Jesus's words concerning the centurion's faith?
- What does this story tell us about Jesus?
Scripture
About this Plan
Jesus performed many signs, but John recorded seven so that his readers would believe. This plan has the same aim. It presents a collection of miracles that Jesus and his disciples performed, showing us God’s character, His heart toward humanity, and His ability to move on our behalf. Not only that, we have Jesus' promise that through the power of the Holy Spirit, we will do those things and more.
