How often have we as believers in Jesus expressed this sort of faith in him? The centurion knew the truth: He ISN’T worthy! That is true — but what’s also true is that NOBODY is worthy of Jesus. Not the Jews around him, not Jesus’ disciples, not the Romans, not the religious leaders in Jerusalem.

Romans 3 spells that out for us: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.”
