Sir, I am not worthy to have you under my roof.
Just give the word and my servant will be cured.
We cannot pass him by , stay aloof.
Only by him should we be lured.
I love this passage about the Centurion.
His giving and taking orders, his directness.
His faith should be our vision.
Above all his belief, his openness.
When Jesus heard this, he was astonished.
Nowhere in Israel have I found faith like this.
And thus our own lack of faith is abmonished.
And this truth we cannot miss.
Go back,  your servant is cured.
And we do we believe , is our future secured.
…….
I am not worthy
To have you under my my roof
But he’s forgiving
…….
See Matthew 8: 5-17
