Christs authority

When Jesus heard this, He was amazed.  Turning to the crowd that was following Him, He said, "I tell you, I haven't seen faith like this in all Israel! (Luke 7:9 NLT)

This is the story about the faith of a Roman officer.  He didn't see himself as worthy to see Christ or to have Jesus visit His home.  However, he knew the power & depth of Christs authority.  He needed healing for someone at his home & he knew that Christ had authority over sickness.  He knew he just needed a word from Christ.  A lot of times we forget Christs authority over health, finances, relationships, ALL things.  Sometimes we work so hard trying to fix & solve things when all we need is a word from God.  When we get that word, all of a sudden our finances are better, our sickness is gone, our relationships are healed.  The Roman officer knew Christs authority, do we?
