The Man With Such Great Faith! Luke 7:1-10 Richard Thetford www.thetfordcountry.com

Centurion Captain of 100 men in the Roman Army One of four centurions in the New Testament At the cross (Matthew 27:54) Cornelius (Acts 10:1-2, 22) Julius (Acts 27:1, 42-43) All seem to be men of noble qualities Richard Thetford www.thetfordcountry.com

Every man is really 3 men: The man his enemies think he is The man his friends think he is The man he thinks he is A fourth man: The man he REALLY is Richard Thetford www.thetfordcountry.com

What the Neighbors Thought Based upon what they had seen They approved of him What would our neighbors say about us? In matters what others think (1 Peter 2:11-12) We are to be lights (Philippians 2:15) We are to be a good neighbor (Matthew 5:16) Richard Thetford www.thetfordcountry.com

What He Thought Based on the examination of his heart A sincere self estimate He knew himself better than they Great humility (Matthew 23:12; 1 Corinthians 2:11) He was judging himself by a higher standard (2 Corinthians 10:12) A thorough examination will profit all of us 2 Corinthians 13:5; 1 Corinthians 11:28 Richard Thetford www.thetfordcountry.com

What Jesus Knew About Him The Lord “marveled” This man’s “great” faith (v9) Some have “little” faith (Matthew 8:26) Some have “dead” faith (James 2:17) What about our faith? Would the Lord marvel at how great it is? Hebrews 11:6; 10:39 Richard Thetford www.thetfordcountry.com

that is who we REALLY are! Each estimate of the centurion was true from each person’s viewpoint However – it is the Lord’s approval that counts that is who we REALLY are! Richard Thetford www.thetfordcountry.com
