Have you ever been in a conversation with someone who has an opposing view to your faith?
How did you handle it?
Who are the players:
Centurion
Centurion’s slave
Elder Jews
Jesus
Centurion: Not a Jew, but he is a believer
Slave: Also not a Jew, but dealing with great affliction and impending death
Elder Jews: Advocates for the outsider
Jesus: Son of Man
