We interrupt this miracle for an important announcement...

Matthew 8:10-13 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.” And his servant was healed at that moment. There is very little that came His way that seemed to take Jesus back. It almost sounds like this did. Here is a man who reverenced Christ so much he bowed before him in worship, did not expect Christ to enter His his house, and was certain that He would able to heal what no other could. He understood the power and authority of Christ much more than most. It was important, Jesus took a time out in the middle of this miracle to teach about it, and to call us all to examine our view of Him. It is of utmost importance to our destiny. Jesus then rewarded this man by responding to his request.
