THE FAITH OF THE CENTURION

5 When Jesus had entered Capernaum,

A Centurion came to Him, asking for help.

'Lord,' he said,

'My servant lies a home paralyzed

And in terrible suffering.'

7 Jesus said to him,

'I will go and heal him.'

8 the Centurion replied,

'Lord. 'I do not deserve

To have You come under my roof.

But just say the Word,

And my servant will be healed.

9 For I myself am a man Under Authority,

With soldiers under me.

I tell this one,

'Go,' and he goes; and that one,

'Come,' and he comes.

I say to my servant,

'Do this,' and he does it.

10 When Jesus heard this,

HE WAS ATONISHED

An said to those following Him,

'I tell you the Truth,

I have not found anyone in Israel

WITH SUCH GREAT FAITH.

11 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.

12 BUT THE SUBJECTS OF THE KINGDOM

WILL BE THROWN OUTSIDE,

INTO THE DARKNESS,

WHERE THERE WILL BE WEEPING

AND GNASHING OF TEETH.'

(Matthew 8:5-12)

Who will be in the Kingdom of Heaven?

Those with the Faith of the Centurion.

And what will happen to Subjects of the Kingdom;

Those who Pretend to be Christians

But are not?

THEY WILL BE THROWN OUTSIDE,

INTO THE DARKNESS,

WHERE THERE WILL BE WEEPING

AND GNASHING OF TEETH.'
