Reflections with Andy - Luke 7: 1-10 - Under Authority

This morning, we looked at one of my favorite stories in Luke 7, where a Roman centurion shows incredible faith by asking Jesus to heal his servant—not by coming in person, but just by speaking the word. What really stands out to me is when the centurion says, “I also am a man set under authority.” He understands how authority works, and he recognizes that Jesus is under God’s authority too. That’s powerful. Even Jesus submitted to the will of the Father, and that challenges us to think: Who do we submit to? We all need accountability—whether it’s to our church, spouse, or spiritual leaders—because true freedom and spiritual growth come when we live under God’s authority, not just our own.Shameless plug: here’s a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.
