The sermon centers on the centurion's profound faith in Jesus as the divine authority sent by God, highlighting how his recognition of Jesus' sovereign power—exemplified in his belief that a mere word from Christ could heal his servant—earned Jesus' astonishment as unmatched even among Israel. Drawing from Scripture in Luke, John, and Ephesians, the message emphasizes that true faith is not merely intellectual assent but a surrender to Christ's absolute authority, rooted in the understanding that Jesus, as God's appointed Son, holds all power in heaven and on earth. The preacher underscores the danger of stunted faith that demands physical presence or ritual, contrasting it with the centurion's humble, trusting conviction that obedience flows from recognizing Christ's divine command. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to live in daily surrender, trusting that Jesus' word alone is sufficient—whether in healing, moral victory, or waiting for His return—inviting a faith so deep it would cause Christ to marvel.
