  6. Gripping SCRIPTURE 5  When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. 6  "Lord," he said, "my servant lies at home paralyzed and in terrible suffering." 7  Jesus said to him, "I will go and heal him." 8  The centurion replied, "Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9  For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and that one, 'Come,' and he comes. I say to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it." Matt 8: 5-13

  7. Gripping SCRIPTURE 10  When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said to those following him, "I tell you the truth, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. 11  I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12  But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." 13  Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go! It will be done just as you believed it would." And his servant was healed at that very hour. Matt 8: 5-13

  8. Gripping SCRIPTURE 25  During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26  When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. "It's a ghost," they said, and cried out in fear. 27  But Jesus immediately said to them: "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid." 28  "Lord, if it's you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water." Matt 14:27-31

  9. Gripping SCRIPTURE 29  "Come," he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30  But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!" 31  Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?" Matt 14:27-31
