LAST WEEK
We talked about the outsider, the outcast, the devalued,
Specifically, we talked about the Leper
We talked about how Jesus cared for him
What He did for him both spiritually and physically
We talked about having the courage to leave the isolated, defeated, and condemning state of our spiritual sickness and approach Jesus in our insufficiency so that He could make us whole.
THIS WEEK
We are going to talk about Healing
We are going to talk about Faith
We are going to talk about how Prayer plays a part in both of these realms
What I want us to be thinking about is this
Have we ever prayed for God to heal us of something and it never came to pass?
Have we ever prayed for something that we never got an answer to?
Have you ever asked yourself:
God why didn’t you?
Why wont you?
Why haven’t you?

:1-
LETS LOOK AT THE CENTURION SPOKEN OF IN
Jesus, after preaching the sermon on the mount
Casting vision for His Kingdom
Healing the Leper
Has now made his way back to his HQ
To Capernaum which was known as what?
The Shadow of Death
As he entered Capernaum, a Centurion came up to him
What do we know about this man?
The Centurion would have been under the rule of Herod Antipas
We don’t know if he was a Roman, but he definitely was a Gentile
This dude had no business coming to Jesus
By doing so, he was compromising his allegiance to Ceasar
He was putting his job on the line
If found out, this act would have been considered treason and punishable by death.
Nevertheless, this Gentile, Godless, Un-Religious, Leader of 100 Soldiers
Comes to Jesus
Approaches Jesus
And Parakaleo: Urges, Implores, Begs, Pleads with Jesus saying:
Lord, Kyrios
Same word used by the Leper
My servant is lying at home paralyzed and dreadfully tormented
These are the facts
This is the state of his servant/slave
This Slave is on a bed
Both Paralyzed and in Great Pain
How would Jesus respond to a Gentiles plead for a sick slave?
How would Jesus respond to a Godless, Anti-Religious, Slave Owner?
Jesus responds:
“I will come and heal him”
Jesus in stating his intent is agreeing to do a couple of things
1.
He is willing to do something for those who don’t yet have a relationship with him.
2.
He is willing to serve the people who culture called Godless and Unclean
3.
He is willing to enter an unclean home to clean up the mess.
Jesus does the unthinkable
Jesus does the unorthodox
Jesus does what no other Jew would have done
Made himself available to serve the lost and the godless.
The story doesn’t end there.
The Centurion knew who Jesus was.
He saw Jesus as a Leader
As one in authority
As one who was teaching and discipling others
What the Centurion did not know was how Jesus would respond
He knew the risk involved in asking Jesus for his servants healing
What he didn’t know was how Jesus would risk himself for the sake of his servant.
Even though Jesus was willing to come, the Centurion recognizes a few things about Jesus
His Willingness to heal
His Willingness to go and minister
His Willingness to put his life on the line
He also recognizes a few things about himself
He calls himself unworthy
He proclaims his insufficiency
He knows that His home is unclean
He also knows that Jesus is willing to overlook all of that in order to live out his calling
How would Jesus respond to the humble request of the Centurion?
Jesus heard what the centurion said and marveled
Then he turns to those who were following him
He turns to those who had seen the miracles and heard the sermons
The Jesus Followers
And says this to them:
Assuredly I say to you
I have not found such great faith , neither here in Capernaum, nor in all of Israel
Before we head into verse 11 I want us to recogize the context
Jesus said, He had never seen such great Faith in Israel
In fact, Jesus said, He had never seen such great Faith in Israel
A place where Faith should have been the prominent factor in the culture.
Was the very place where Great Faith was extinct
Now, verse 11
Many will come from the east and the west
Many from all over the world
Many from every tribe tongue and nation
Will come with that exact type of faith and sit down with the Father’s and Son’s of Faith
They will come from everywhere and sit with
Abraham: The Father of Faith
Isaac: The Son by Faith
Jacob: The one through whom Faith continued.
They will come from everywhere because of their faith
They will get to sit amongst Faith Leaders
In a Kingdom where everyone has one thing in common
A Kingdom founded on the Faith they had in
The coming Messiah,
