Luke 7:1 - 30

In this passage we find the greatest example of faith in the entire land of Israel.  It comes from a rather unexpected place - a Roman centurion.  The centurion's servant was ill, and this leader begged Jesus to come heal him.  When Jesus began making the trip to the residence, the centurion made the comment that he understood authority; all Jesus had to do was give the command and the healing would take place.  Jesus is amazed at the faith displayed by that statement.  Those returning found the servant had been healed, just as Jesus commanded.

Other events are chronicled in the passage; but this one grabs my attention most today.  What do I believe God is capable of doing today?  Do I really understand His power and authority; and am I behaving in light of that understanding?
