Believe And Receive

 Matthew 8:13  

"And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and 

as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee.

And his servant was healed 

in the selfsame hour." 

  This centurion was a heathen, a Roman soldier. Though he was a soldier, yet he was a godly man. No man's calling or place will be an excuse for unbelief and sin. "See how he states his servant's case" (Matt. 8:5-10). We should concern ourselves for the souls of our children and others, who are spiritually sick, and don't feel the spiritual evils, and don't know that which is spiritually good; and we should bring them to Christ by faith and prayers. Humble souls are made more humble by Christ's gracious dealings with them.  

  Observe his faith. The more defiant we are of ourselves, the stronger our confidence in Christ. We all should serve God in that manner; we must go and come, according to the directions of His word. But when the Son of man comes and He finds little faith, He will also find little fruit.  Now outward profession may cause us to be called children of the kingdom; but if we rest in that, and have nothing else to show, we shall be cast out. 

  My Friends, The servant got a cure of his disease, and the master got the approval of his faith. What was said to him, is said to all, Believe, and ye shall receive; only believe. See the power of Christ, and the power of faith. The healing of our souls is at once the effect and evidence of our interest in the blood of Christ.

Amen!
