MATTHEW 8:1-4

Jesus Cleanses a Leper

When he came down from the mountain,great crowds followed him.And behold, a leper came to him and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying:"I will; be clean."And Jesus said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a proof to them.”

A red heart and two hands

*We often say ‘A red heart and two hands’, just like the leper pray to God,“Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” Firstly, he is not forcing Jesus to do so. Secondly, if the Lord refused, the subtext is that I like to accept your kindness. Does it like ‘all the arrangements are the best arrangements’ as we always talking about ?

MATTHEW 8:5-13

The Faith of a Centurion

When he entered Capernaum, a centurion came forward to him, appealing to him,“Lord, my servant is lying paralysed at home, suffering terribly.” And he said to him,“I will come and heal him.” But the centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant will be healed.” For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. And i say to one,‘Go’,and he goes, and to another,‘Come’, and he comes, and to my servant, ‘Do this’, and he does it. When Jesus heard this, he marvelled and said to those who followed him, “Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israel have I found such faith. I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” And to the centurion Jesus said,“Go; let it be done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was healed at that very moment.

Faith lead the power

*Everyone has the right, as the centurion said, as a human right, as a centurion right, and he thinks the greatest right belong to God. As long as his simple sentence, his wish can be achieved, because God is his belief. The strength of faith power is so strong, so what is your belief?
