Matthew 8, verses 5 to 13
Matthew 8 shows the power of faith.
And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
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.
Mary Baker Eddy said, “The progress of truth confirms its claims, and our Master confirmed his words by his works.”
Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures
This Biblical healing story invites us to examine our own lives: Where can we have faith and a clearer understanding of God and our spiritual identity? As we follow Jesus’ example and turn to divine Truth, we too can experience freedom, healing, and renewal. This result is proven many times through all of the healings shared through Christian Science testimonies at Wednesday meetings, in periodicals and at Christian Science lectures.
