When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, “This man deserves to have you do this, because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.” Luke 7: 4-5
Jesus led me today to see how lovely, sweetly and powerful this Roman army officer was: caring for his own servant, love people of other nation (Jews) and built a synagogue (church) for them. By these virtues and character he was being love and respected by Jews, people not his own countrymen. By this he developed his “great faith” and that he could experience Jesus miracle through his faithfulness.

We need to pray for having the “sight” as Jesus did to accept, care and love for this foreigner. Where can I find these kind of “great faith” people to built our church in the next few years?

Dear Lord Jesus,

Help me to love and to be loved by people that I don’t know well just as this centurion lived out. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
