GOLDEN TEXT—And they shall coma from the east, and from the west, ^id from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the king dom of God. - PRIMARY TOPIC—A Man Who Be lieved Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC—A Man Who Be lieved Jesus. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Being Fair to Other Races. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Overcoming Racial Prejudice. I. Who the Centurion Was (v. 5). His name is not given. His title was derived from the word meaning “a hundred.” He was, therefore, offi cially the commander of a hundred men. “The ordinary duties of a cen turion were to drill his men, inspect their arms, food, and clothing, and to command them in the camp and in the field.” II. The Centurion's Need (vv. 5, G). He had a very dear servant who was greviously afflicted with the palsy, and at the point of death (Luke 7:‘J). This slave was highly valued for this char acter and ability. We are not told in this account as to whether the cen turion had employed doctors. In all probability they had been employed and were unable to give help. The centurion had, no doubt, heard of the wonderful power of Jesus to heal. Therefore, he came to him as the only one who could help. III. The Centurion's Request (vv. 5,6). It was that Christ would come and heal his servant (Luke 7:5). From the account in Luke we learn that the centurion first sent the leaders of the Jews. Being a Gentile, he doubtless believed that he could best secure the attention and consideration of Jesus through the mediation of the Jews. The centurion was of good. report among the Jews. The leaders who were aent testified to the good repu tation which he bore in the com munity. They especially mentioned his benevolent deeds to the Jews. IV. The Centurion’s Humility (tv. 7, 8). As Jesus was nearing the centurion s house the friends were sent to ssy to him that he was unworthy for him to come under bis roof, but because the esse of his servant was so grave, he brushed aside all difficulties and per sonally appealed for help. Jesus is pleased when men realize their utter helplessness and appeal to him for help. V. The Centurion's Faith (vv. 8-10). In spite of his unworthiness lie com mitted his case to the Lord. He be lieved that If Jesus would but ^speak the word,- bis servant would be healed. It Is most interesting to note his philosophy of authority. He said. “I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me, and I say to this man, ’Go.’ and he goeth, and to an other, ‘Come,* and he conieth, and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he doeth It.” He believed that disease was under control, that Christ could order it about just as he ordered his soldiers about. By faith be saw Christ as com pletely in authority over the most vio lent malady as he himself was In con trol over the soldiers under him. His faith wms so unusual that Christ mar veled at it. He did not marvel In the sense of being surprised at it, but mar veled at its intelligence. His faith was based upon the true philosophy of the universe; namely, that the uni verse Is based upon a law and Jesus Christ is the Director and Controller of that law. So greatly was Christ pleased with his faith that he de clared that It exceeded anything fiound rould have a place In the kingdom to he exclusion of many Jews. VI. Christ’s Wonderful Power (v. 15). He said to the centurion, “I wMIl ome and heal him” (v. 7). Note hia erfect confidence in himself. He did ot say, “I will come and see what I an do,” but “will heal him.” He new that all power was given unto Am by the Father. He did not need o go and touch the centurion’s slave, ut needed only to speak the word, nd It was done. He could hetl from ailes away as well as when in the iresence of a sick person. How won- erful Is the power of the Lord Jesus :hrist! Let us trust him at all times nd under all circumstances. Message of Appreciation.
