Matthew 8:1-13 – LEARNING FROM JESUS
JESUS HEALED A LEPER – Vss. 1-4
The leper believed that Jesus could heal him of Jesus was willing.
Jesus was willing.
The man was healed.
JESUS HEARD A LEADER – Vss. 5-9
A centurion (captain over a hundred soldiers) requested that Jesus would heal his servant.
The centurion did not consider himself worthy for Jesus to enter his home.
But the centurion had confidence that because Jesus was a man of authority, all He had to do was “speak the word” and his servant would be healed.
JESUS HAD A LESSON – Vss. 10-13
Jesus marvelled at this man’s faith.
He contrasted it with the lack of faith that he found in Israel (The centurion was probably a gentile.).
The servant was healed based on the Centurion’s faith.
