The Miracles of Jesus Christ: Healing a Centurion's Servant (Part One)
Bible Study by Martin G. CollinsA good employee has a good relationship with his employer and vice versa. The centurion held his young servant dear, regarding him with respect and as important, and he was concerned for his well-being as a key member of his household. The servant had apparently endeared himself to his master through noble service. He must have been diligent and faithful, since he received his master's esteem and concern. The centurion's care shows in what he did when the servant lay paralyzed, in pain, and ready to die: he did not ignore the need but sought out Jesus Christ for help, sending messengers to plead for the healing earnestly, clearly, and promptly. His character reveals a man who loved those under his authority, and his love was combined with action rather than mere words. A master who values a faithful worker and acts on his behalf, and a servant whose diligent service earns that regard, make up a healthy working relationship.
