First Presbyterian Church Of Baton Rouge

Jesus heard authentic humility in the centurion from Luke 7. “I am not worthy to have you under my roof.” Jesus heard love that dared to ask. “Only you can save my servant.” Jesus heard faith that came right out of the man’s deepest understanding of how his life worked. A man who lived under orders and gave orders recognized in Jesus the ultimate authority to speak a word and have it enacted. The centurion saw the power of the Creator Word of God who spoke and worlds came into being. “Only say the word and my servant will be healed.” He believed from both heart and mind. "Only Say the Word" Luke 7: 1-10 Gerrit Dawson
