Fourth Sunday After Pentacost. [Rom. 6:18-23; Matt.
8:5-13]
What faith the centurion has! The Lord
Himself marvelled. The essence of this faith is that he
confessed the Lord to be the God of all things, an
all-powerful sovereign and master of all that exists; for
this reason he beseeched, speak the word only, and my
servant shall be healed. I believe that everything is
under Your authority and everything obeys Your slightest
beckoning. The Lord requires the same faith of us, as
well. He who has this faith knows no lack, and whatsoever
he asks, he receives. Thus has the Lord Himself promised.
Oh, when will we have if only a little of such faith! But
this faith is also a gift; we must ask for it as well, and
ask for it with faith. Let us ask for it, with a feeling
of need for it, ask for it continually, fervently, at the
same time aiding its unfolding within us through
corresponding thoughts, and most of all by submitting to
God’s commandments.
