Matthew 8:10
"Verily I say unto you, I have not found
so great faith, no, not in Israel"
Here we have a Roman centurion, a Gentile, who came seeking healing for his servant, and another in Matt. (15:21-28). In both cases Christ healed at a distance. In (Eph. 2:12-13) Gentiles are said to be "afar off" spiritually speaking. In both cases it was faith that Christ honored, and it was by the power of His Word that the miracles took place.
The Jews thought that they were assured special favor by God, but the Lord reminded them that they could be "last" in the Kingdom of God, while those who thought themselves "last," such as the robbers, and prostitutes and others not in the blood line of Christ, would be "first" if they "exercised" faith in Him.
The time has come for all people around the world to "pay attention " to our thoughts of where we'll be, "last or first in the Kingdom. If you have never repented, to Christ and admitted that you are a sinner, and by faith you believe that Christ died for you sins on the cross at Calvary, and resurrected from the grave, and ascended up to Heaven; You're going to be last and your name will not be written in "The Lambs Book of Life"! If your saved and serve our Lord, then you are on the "first list" and your name is in "The Lambs Book Of Life" What a day that will be, when we all shall see!
Amen!!
