Rewards of Faith

Matthew 8: 1-10

The Lord can touch thy heart, leprous with impurity, and make its stain depart, so that, as

He also can heal the paralysis which has limited thy service and pinned thee down in helplessness. As the centurion recognized, because Christ was obedient to the Father’s law he was able to wield the Father’s power. He humbled himself and became obedient to the death of the Cross; therefore God hath highly exalted him, that he might send tides of living energy into the paralyzed will. The Apostle Paul testified, “I ean do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
