Today we continue our series in the Gospel of Luke, one of four eyewitness accounts of Jesus’ words and works. In them we learn of his life, death, and resurrection to rescue a people of his own from among the nations—even us. In our passage today, Jesus heals a Roman centurion’s servant. But, surprisingly, this story is less concerned with the miracle than with the faith of man who asks for it. Here we discover that great faith humbly trusts Jesus in the face of death and distance.
