February 24 - Tuesday

Ask the Holy Spirit to guide your time, then read the following Scriptures.

• Scripture: Luke 7:1-10

Reflect on the devotional, and answer the questions to dive in deeper!

• Devotional: In today’s passage, the centurion comes to Jesus with a clear awareness of his own unworthiness. Jesus had come first to the Jewish people, and the centurion—a Roman—was an outsider and even an enemy. And yet, he trusted that a single word from Jesus would be enough to heal his ailing servant. Jesus marvels at his faith, a faith marked by humility and confidence in Christ’s authority, and the servant is healed. Lent invites us to examine the places where we rely on ourselves instead of resting in the sufficiency of Jesus. Like the centurion, we’re called to trust that Christ is both able and willing to save and restore all who come to Him humbly by faith.

• Discussion Questions:
  1. What stood out to you in today’s passage?
  2. What questions do you still have?
  3. What is God asking you to do in response?

End your time with prayer, and ask the Lord to help you apply what you have learned today.
