Who is the enemy in your world, the person or group of people who lives and acts contrary to your value system? In Jesus’ day, the enemy of the Jews and the Christians was the Romans. In the story of the Roman Centurion, Jesus finds pure faith in an unexpected place. Understanding the chain of command, the Roman Centurion believes that Jesus can heal his servant even from a distance just by speaking the word—demonstrating a level of faith that Jesus could not find anywhere else among His believers. In a moment, the excluded enemy becomes part of the family. How are you laying down enemy lines? Can you see beyond what you perceive to be true? God values your enemy. Can you?
