Understanding Gods healing/meeting the master during despration/

the centurion was a man of authority. He commanded a military platoon of 100 men. So it is interesting that they recognized the authority of Jesus. Sometimes we are able to relate to Jesus based on are own understanding. So we have to remember

*centurion

Put his pride aside. Did something that was not popular with his people.

he seeked out Jesus then pleaded with him. Before he heals you there has to be something in you that seeks the Lord and admits that we need him. We dont have to plead and convinced Him. All we have to do is seek Him out. So why does the bible show this? Because they did not understand the way that the Lord works.

Matthew 8:5–13 NKJV

Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.” And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.” The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel! And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour.
