Great Faith (Luke 7)

About the Guest
-
In Luke 7 in the Bible Jesus gives an incredible complement to a Roman Centurion soldier: “Not even in Israel have I found such faith.†Wow. Wouldn’t you love to have Jesus say that about you and your kids? So, who was this guy? He was humble and he understood his place in the world and Jesus’ authority as God. That’s one task of good parenting: Helping our children to humbly accept their place in the world while bowing to God’s authority and power. Teaching that starts with us modeling it.

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: In Luke 7 in the Bible Jesus gives an incredible compliment to a Roman Centurion soldier: “Not even in Israel have I found such faith.” Wow. Wouldn’t you love to have Jesus say that about you and your kids? So, what do we know about this guy? Well, he was humble—he didn’t feel worthy to have Jesus at his home. And he understood his place in the world and Jesus’ authority as God.
It seems to me that’s one task of good parenting: Helping our children to humbly accept their place in the world while bowing to God’s authority and power. Now here’s the kicker, teaching that starts with us modeling it. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
