Unlikely Miracles (Luke 7:1-17)

Belgrade URC

A Roman centurion asks Jesus to heal his servant in Capernaum. Despite being a Gentile, he shows strong faith. Jesus praises his faith, healing the servant from afar. In Nain, Jesus sees a widow mourning her only son. He comforts her and resurrects her son. These events reveal Jesus' compassion, power, and ability to confer true life to his citizens. They show that Jesus' kingdom redeems all nations as they respond by faith in the Spirit, breaking barriers of society and distance.
