Evening: Psalms 89:19-52; Matthew 8:5-17
A Roman centurion recognizes Jesus’s authority while his own people do not. Sometimes you are so close to something that you miss its significance, while outsiders see it immediately. Followers of Jesus, those who call themselves ‘Christians’, may know the story of Jesus but still cannot say what he means for them beyond being a great historical figure, or an amazing teacher and spiritual guide. Imagine, though, as one writer puts it, you are ‘meeting Jesus again for the first time’? What do you think that will be like? Perhaps it will cure the blindness of familiarity?
