The leper and the centurion's servant healed

In today's Gospel the manifestation of the Lord's glory is seen not only in the miracles that he does, but in the brilliant faith of the leper and  the centurion. The leper expresses a brimming confidence and confession of faith: If thou willst, thou canst make me clean. And the centurion says Jesus need not come all the way  to his house but heal from afar. This is the faith of the people of God of all time, faith in Jesus the Christ, the Incarnate God; and by this faith we must live. Sermon for Epiphany III.
