Yielded Faith. Luke 7:1-10Jesus Christ meets the need of everyone—Gentile or Jew, rich or poor, leader or follower, ruler or slave. He bridges the gaps, prejudices, and divisions between men. The one essential for securing His help is faith. A person must have faith in Christ and His power. The fact is clearly demonstrated in what happened between this soldier and Jesus. Everyone eventually reaches the conclusion that many things in life happen without our permission. We must resign ourselves to the stubborn fact that we are not in control of everything. As many have said, "We must resign as general manager of the universe." Life is messy and everyone is struggling with something. Even the strongest people among us¬—those with the most authority—find themselves rocked by adversity. Billionaires can get pancreatic cancer just like the rest of us. Accidents will happen even when we are cautious. No matter how many self-help books we read, we can still be betrayed and rejected by family members. We all find ourselves struggling under the weight of uncertainty in life. The question for all of us is, where do we turn when life is unfair? What do we do when we take an unexpected hit or life turns dark? Believing, that is, true faith, is a rare thing. Not many believe; yet belief in Christ is one of the greatest qualities of human life—a quality ignored, neglected, and in some cases denied.
