The centurion was a Roman commander with 100 soldiers who could have passed the pain of one of his servants. But he broke through a large crowd for his servant and met Jesus, and not only was the servant healed by the incredible faith of 'just say the word.' Although he is just a servant, the centurion did not treat him insignificantly, but loved and pitied him like a family, and I think the movement of faith through the crowd for him and the amazing confession of faith are the traits of true Christians we have to resemble.
Passage to read: Matthew 8:1-13
5 When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help.
6 “Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly.”
7 Jesus said to him, “Shall I come and heal him?”
8 The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
9 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.
