Luke 7.1-10
Jesus Heals an Army Officer's Servant

"After Jesus had finished teaching the people, he went to Capernaum.
In that town an army officer's servant was sick and about to die. The
officer liked this servant very much. And when he heard about Jesus,
he sent some Jewish leaders to ask him to come and heal the servant.

The leaders went to Jesus and begged him to do something. They said,
"This man deserves your help! He loves our nation and even built us a
meeting place." So Jesus went with them.

When Jesus wasn't far from the house, the officer sent some friends to
tell him, "Lord, don't go to any trouble for me! I am not good enough
for you to come into my house. And I am certainly not worthy to come
to you. Just say the word, and my servant will get well. I have
officers who give orders to me, and I have soldiers who take orders
from me. I can say to one of them, 'Go!' and he goes. I can say to
another, 'Come!' and he comes. I can say to my servant, 'Do this!' and
he will do it."

When Jesus heard this, he was so surprised that he turned and said to
the crowd following him, "In all of Israel I've never found anyone
with this much faith!"

The officer's friends returned and found the servant well."

Father God, forgive my sins. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ down
to die on the cross and for shedding his blood for me. Three days
later you resurrected him. I accept that. I invite Jesus Christ into
my heart as my Lord and savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

God bless you.
