And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and ready to die.
Luke 7:2 NKJV
Normally a centurion was bossy and demanded his own way because of his power and authority. This one was different. The Jews loved him. The centurion had love and care for his servant. And he had great faith. This was uncommon for a centurion.
People don’t have to be defined by their roles or by cultural expectations. I can care for people no matter who they are. Never use authority or power to exert force. Always use it to exert faith.
Jesus, You are the Hope for the lowly woman of poor reputation and for the mighty centurion. We all need You. Amen.
