Commandment: Be Amazed

In this powerful message, we explore the story of Jesus marveling at a Roman centurion's faith (Matthew 8:5-13). This encounter reveals three key insights about faith that can transform our spiritual lives. First, true faith is mixed with love - the centurion's concern for his servant demonstrates this beautifully. Second, faith and commandment are intricately linked, like a zipper joining two sides of a garment. Finally, the centurion recognized Jesus' authority as coming from God, seeing the Father's heart in Jesus' actions. This story challenges us to develop a faith that amazes Jesus - one that combines love, obedience, and a deep understanding of God's benevolent nature. As we grow in this kind of faith, we too can marvel at the goodness of our Father and live out His love in our daily lives.
