[Isabelle Tubbs]

The centurion’s faith in this passage is amazing, because even though he was not of the Jewish community, he trusted in Jesus, in His power, and in His authority. The centurion understood how authority worked because of his own experience and believed that Jesus had the heavenly authority to heal his servant.
The centurion was humble enough to ask Jesus for help, even though the Romans were the ones occupying the Hebrew land at the time. He was so humble that he felt he did not deserve to have Jesus come to his home.
Also, the centurion was kind enough to want his servant to get better and be healed. It is amazing that both Jesus and the centurion cared about a servant, who was considered as a lower status during that time period.
Later, Jesus tells him to go home because his servant is healed. When the centurion goes back, he finds out that the servant was healed at the time when Jesus told him. Jesus does have the heavenly authority, and because the centurion believed, he and his servant were blessed.
