The Faith of the Centurion
This master had a heart of mercy for his servant that he sent people to look for Jesus to heal his servant. Not long after Jesus was making His way to see him, the centurion sent word that Jesus had only need to give a word to heal his servant, and not take the trouble to travel.
Such great was his faith that Jesus did not have to lay his hands upon the servant and pray or anything. The Centurion simply believed that Jesus had such great power and could perform long-distance miracles!
Remarkable lesson to learn: Its our level of faith that determines how far we would be able to go
Jesus Raises a Widow's Son
Jesus had a heart of compassion for a widow. Imagine how heartbreaking it is to lose your husband and next lose your son. Jesus emphatised. Thus He brought the dead man back to life and he and his mother were reunited.
Jesus and John the Baptist
John hears about Jesus and wants to know if He is the Messiah. Jesus speaks to the crowd about the good works that John has done. John is a prophet who prepared the way for Jesus. He is a super devoted man of God who doesn't eat bread or drink wine.
Jesus Anointed by a Sinful Woman
Jesus teaches an important lesson - not to look down nor judge a person who willingly comes to the feet of Jesus, laying down her pride to wash his feet with her hair, splurging on perfume (we can guess how expensive they were those days)
47Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little."
48Then Jesus said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
We are no worst then a sinner would it not be for God's love thus sending Jesus to save our sins. Dear Family, shall we learn how to forgive others that we may be forgiven?
