Where are you in relationship to Jesus? If you drew a diagram, where would you be? Beside him? Behind him? There was a soldier who placed himself under Jesus’ authority. Though not a follower of Jesus, he understood power and authority; superior and subordinate. Being a soldier, he trusted the chain of command. He knew that when the superior officer issued the order, all that was necessary to achieve the objective was the compliance of the subordinate! Jesus was “amazed” at his faith. Would he be amazed by ours? Do we live under the authority of Jesus’ words and example?

LUKE 7:1-10

ÂżDĂłnde estás en relaciĂłn con JesĂşs? Si dibujaras un diagrama, ÂżdĂłnde estarĂ­as? ÂżA su lado? ÂżDetrás de Ă©l? Hubo un soldado que se colocĂł bajo la autoridad de JesĂşs. Aunque no era un seguidor de JesĂşs, entendĂ­a el poder y la autoridad; superior y subordinado. Siendo soldado, confiaba en la cadena de mando. ¡SabĂ­a que cuando el oficial superior emitĂ­a la orden, todo lo que era necesario para lograr el objetivo era el cumplimiento del subordinado! JesĂşs estaba “asombrado” por su fe. ÂżSe sorprenderĂ­a por la nuestra? ÂżVivimos bajo la autoridad de las palabras y el ejemplo de JesĂşs?

LUCAS 7:1-10
