Teaching Points Faith Beyond BordersThe centurion's faith exemplifies that true belief in Jesus transcends ethnic and cultural boundaries. We are called to recognize and celebrate faith wherever it is found. Authority of Christ The centurion understood Jesus' authority over illness and distance. As believers, we should trust in Jesus' power and sovereignty in all areas of our lives. Humility and Recognition The centurion's humility in acknowledging Jesus' authority is a model for us. We should approach God with humility, recognizing His power and our need for His intervention. Witness to Others Jesus used the centurion's faith as a teaching moment for the crowd. Our faith can serve as a testimony to others, encouraging them to trust in Jesus. Faith in Action The centurion's faith was not passive; it prompted him to seek Jesus' help. Our faith should lead us to actively seek God's will and intervention in our lives.(9) I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.--It is, perhaps, characteristic of both the Evangelists that St. Luke omits the warning words which St. Matthew records as to the "many that shall come from the east and the west," and the exclusion of the children of the kingdom.Verse 9. - When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him. Augustine strikingly comments here on the expression ἐθαύμασε, he marvelled: "Who had inspired that faith but he who now admires it?" In marvelling at it he intimated that we ought to admire. He admires for our good, that we may imitate the centurion's faith; such movements in Christ are not signs of perturbation of mind, but are exemplary and hortatory to us (St. Augustine, quoted by Bishop Wordsworth, on Matthew 8:10). I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. St. Augustine remarks here that "the Lord had found in the oleaster what he had not found in the olive." Parallel Commentaries ...
