Psalms: 127, 130

Meditation

Luke: A centurion had asked Jewish elders to appeal to Jesus to come and heal his servant. The centurion was a Gentile who was apparently keen to Jewish sensitivities regarding interactions between Jews and Gentiles. Unfazed, Jesus sets out to see this centurion until He was prevented; the centurion believed himself unworthy to receive Jesus in his home. Next, Jesus raises the only son of a widow of Nain which only serves to spread His notoriety. [Much like John the Baptist when he confessed that he (John) should be baptized by Jesus when Jesus sought him out for baptism. (See Matt 3:14)]
