Isaiah 4:2-6; Psalm 122:1-2, 4-5, 6-9;
Matthew 8:5-11

A haughty spirit

The centurion said he was not worthy. His humility opened the door for Jesus to come in. God’s love is always freely given. People who go to church can sometimes be tempted to think of themselves as more worthy than those who don’t. And so the door remains closed. Lord, I am not worthy.
