E190: Day 10 The Last Person You'd Expect to Believe | The Activated Disciple

Day 10: The Last Person You'd Expect to Believe — The Roman Centurion's Confession at the Cross | The Activated DiscipleWho is the last person in your life you would expect to come to Jesus? On Day 10 of The Activated Disciple, we meet a man whose entire career was built on a single oath — Caesar is lord. A Roman centurion. A career soldier. The commanding officer of the execution squad that just nailed Jesus to the cross. And in the final breath of one of the most unlikely conversions in all of Scripture, he looks up at a dead Jewish carpenter and speaks seven words that contradict everything he had ever sworn allegiance to. This Christian daily devotional podcast episode is for every believer who has been praying for someone they have given up on. The wayward child. The hardened spouse. The friend who keeps walking further from God. The coworker who seems to have built walls God will never get past. We will uncover the Greek word kyrios (κύριος) — "lord" — and discover the staggering political and spiritual weight of what the centurion actually said, and why his confession was a death sentence in the wrong company. If you have ever wondered if anyone is too far gone for God, if you have stopped praying for someone because you thought it was hopeless, or if you yourself have felt like the last person God would ever use — this episode will reignite your faith.Scripture: Mark 15:37–39 (supporting: Matthew 27:54) Ancient Word: kyrios (κύριος) — Lord, Master, Owner https://holyshiftmedia.comRoman centurion at the cross, truly this man was the Son of God, unlikely conversions in the Bible, praying for someone hardened, no one is too far gone for God, Jesus is Lord meaning, kyrios meaning Greek, centurion confession, hardest people to reach for Christ, hope for the hopeless, never stop praying, Christian daily devotional podcast, Holy Shift Devotionals, Desiree Day podcast, Activated Disciple series
