Week 3 - The Centurion's Servant

The centurion's interaction with Jesus highlights the inclusivity of the Gospel, as Jesus responds to his faith despite his ethnicity and position in an occupying force. Despite his high-ranking position, the centurion approached Jesus with humility, stating that he was “not worthy” to have Jesus come under his roof (Matthew 8:8). This humility underscores the spiritual principle that faith, not social status, matters in God’s Kingdom. The story’s main themes are authority, faith and grace, and inclusivity.
