Guardians Of Ancora Bible Plan: Jesus And The Roman Officer预览
KEY INGREDIENTS
Cooking? If you refer to a cookery book, there are often photos of amazing food, beautifully displayed. You may or may not be a skilled chef, but to achieve the desired effect you need to follow the recipe accurately and carefully, as well as use the right combination of ingredients in the right order.
In this Bible story we have a recipe – not for a meal, but for a solution to a problem. The ingredients are equal amounts of respect and authority, along with a huge portion of faith. The Roman soldier who approached Jesus had great respect for him, but also recognized Jesus’ supreme authority. As an army officer, he could identify with both and so he was able to bring a very bold request to Jesus. The result was the desired outcome, with the soldier’s servant healed immediately.
That could only happen through God’s power because the Roman officer trusted Jesus implicitly – a recipe for success! Ask God to increase your faith by the power of his Holy Spirit and give you the ingredients you need to trust him.
