Wisdom 5/16/15-If I am correct, today is Armed Forces Day, stopping for a moment to remember all
that the Armed Forces have done and are doing to keep our land safe from
harm.. And it is massive, the effort
involved, the planning, the sending troops all over the world to help “keep the
peace”
My thoughts went to ancient Caesarea,
where a centurion in the Roman army was stationed, and He was a Christian with
a troublesome question. “Can I be saved?”A Centurion was captain of a hundred
soldiers, so the question troubled him.
One of the ten commandments said, “Thou shalt not kill”, and killing was part
of the business he was in.
The
Lord him told in a vision to send for Peter
who was in Joppa and listen to his message. So Peter came to this Gentile’s home
and preached the Good news of salvation by believing in Jesus Christ as their
Savior from sins because God sent Jesus
to die to pay for our sins, and “He that believeth hall be saved”
That was good news of salvation that Peter preached to the Centurion and his
household, and is the same good news Christians hear us say for their own salvation.
