* Jesus had just healed a leper, which hadn’t been done since Miriam was healed in front of Moses - that’s why Jesus pointed him to tell the priest.

* Now we see a gentile Centurion who asks Jesus to heal his servant.

* He may have had other servants, but this one was highly regarded by him.

* He was so valuable that the Centurion - a man who was a leader, like Jesus - was willing to impose on the Jewish Messiah with a plea for healing.

* The slave was a value-creator for the Centurion - he made life easier for the man.

* When the boss needed something the servant got it for him.

* How was the servant rewarded for bringing value to his boss?

* When he needed something the boss got it for him!

* He was rewarded not by his own faith, but by the faith of his boss on his behalf.

* When you are a value-creator profit will chase you down.

* This servant enjoyed profit because he brought value to his boss.

* So, how will you do your job today?
