Compassion and Faith
A centurion understood authority
but deemed himself unworthy of
an audience with The Christ.
Jesus totally ignored the state of
his unworthiness, marveled at his FAITH,
and healed the centurion's servant.
The widow of Nain expressed no FAITH.
She only had pain, sorrow, and tears
as her only child was being funeralized
when Jesus met her and said, "Weep not".
In her case, there was no mention of FAITH;
Neither did she request anything from Jesus.
Nevertheless, there was clearly mercy, love, and
compassion when Jesus gave her son back to her.
