Am I Under Authority?
Am I Under Authority? Luke 7:1-10 Main Point: Jesus is amazed when we have a right account of ourselves, understand and have faith in His authority as Messiah. 1.The elders of the Jews had it wrong when they thought that this centurion ‘deserved’ Jesus’ healing for his servant. Romans 7:18 The Centurion understood correctly that he did not even deserve to have Jesus come to him. (verses 6 & 7) *This centurion put himself under Messiah Jesus’ authority - submitted! II Corinthians 1:20 2.Jesus was amazed that this centurion (non-Jew) not only understood but was also exercising (trusting) His authority. (verse 7) Luke 10:18-20
