GREAT FAITH 2

TOPIC: GREAT FAITH 2
TEXT: LUKE 7: 9

Top of the day to you. This day shall be profitable, and favorable for you and God will smile on you in Jesus name.
Let’s continue from where we paused yesterday and you will be amazed at a great discovery of what Christ Jesus did about the faith of the centurion.

He turned about and applauded him in what he said to them that followed him.  Likewise in this world, some Christians are acknowledged and commended by Christ before men, in his eminent appearance with them. “Verily, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel!"

Firstly, it was an honour to the centurion, who, though not a son of Abraham’s loins, was an heir of Abraham’s faith, and Christ found it so. The thing that Christ seeks is faith not fear, and wherever it is, he finds it, though but as a grain of mustard-seed. He had not found so great faith, all things considered, and in proportion to the means, as the poor widow is said to cast in more than they all in Luke 21:3.

Secondly, though the centurion was a Gentile, yet he was thus commended. It speaks shame to Israel, to whom pertained the adoption, the glory, the covenants, and all the assistances and encouragements of faith. When the Son of man comes, he finds little faith, and, therefore, he finds so little fruit.
The attainment of some, who have had but little help for their souls, will aggravate the sin and ruin of many, that have had great plenty of the means of grace, and have not made a good improvement and increment of them. Christ said this to those that followed him, if by any means he might provoke them to a holy emulation, as Paul speaks, (Rom. 11:14). They were Abraham’s seed, in jealousy for that honour, let them not suffer themselves to be outstripped by a Gentile, especially in that grace for which Abraham was eminent.
  Friends, it won’t speak well if you are still living in doubt of the word of grace. Let Jesus Christ see great faith in you today and turnabout to express the same commendation on your behalf.

Personal Confession: Father, I receive the grace to express great faith in life and ministry in Jesus name.
