MONDAY- 24^th  WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME –C

Gospel: Luke 7:1-10: Not even in Israel have I found faith like this.

Jesus Finds Great Faith in a Soldier: Great Faith, What it Is, 7:1-10

Jesus Christ meets the needs of every one-Gentile or Jew, rich or poor, leader or follower, ruler or slaves. He bridges the gaps, prejudices and divisions between people. The one essential for securing His help is faith. A person must have faith in Christ and His power which is demonstrated what happened between the soldier and Jesus in this passage.

1. Jesus returned to Capernaum (v.1)

2. Great faith cares deeply for people (v.2)

3. Great faith feels unworthy in approaching Jesus Christ (v.3)

4. Great faith seeks God in Jesus Christ (v.4-5)

5. Great faith is centred in Jesus Christ (v.6-8)

a. In Jesus as Sovereign Lord

b. In Jesus supreme power and Word

6. Great faith stirs the great power of Jesus Christ (v.9-8)

a. Jesus marvelled

b. Jesus commanded the soldier

c. Jesus healed the servant

Thought: Willingness, obedience and great faith were essential for Jesus to raise the dead son.
