Advent 2019: Dec 7, Day 7

Luke 7

Summary

Jesus's good works are becoming known and people are beginning to call him one that has been sent by God. Jesus finds great faith in a commander of a local Roman force. By the power of the centurion's faith, his servant is healed from a distance and Jesus never even goes to his house.
Then Jesus comforts a mourning widow by raising her dead son to life. Not only was she mourning her son's death; she was mourning her existence as she was about to be destitute and without any means of support.

The followers of John the Baptist come to ask (for John), "Are you the One or should we look for another?"
Jesus commends John and tells about his prophesy.

And then Jesus teaches about sin debt and forgiveness.

My take away

Jesus is a life giver.
He heals, restoring health to the Centurion's servant.
He revives, bringing the widow's son back to life.
He forgives, giving eternal life to our souls.
