- What was so great about the faith of the Roman centurion that would cause Jesus to marvel? (Hint: it is not simply that he believed that Jesus was able to heal – others believed that (see Luke 5:17-26).
- Why is it significant that this man with great faith was a Roman? What does that have to do with the work that Christ came to do and the nature of his kingdom?
- What principles can you draw from this text to apply to your own life today?
