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.
