Luke 7:1-10 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.… 1. Truth may prosper when the Church is not aware of it. 2. Truth prospers at times beyond the expectation of the Church. 3. Truth prospers often where we least expect it. 4. Contact with Christ reveals the true condition of the soul: (a) Faith in the heart of the centurion; (b) Unbelief in that of the Jews. 5. The noble influence of religion, conquering the bigotry of the Jew, and inspiring the heart of a Gentile to build synagogues to the service of the living God. 6. Privileges enhance responsibility, and neglect of them involves the saddest consequences. 7. Man's work is ever in proportion to his faith. 8. Man's influence upon society is ever in proportion to the amount of his faith. 9. Man's influence with Heaven is ever in proportion to the strength of his faith. (W. A. Edwards.)
