Under Authority

A nephew has just graduated from Marine boot camp. We are all proud of Chris. He left home as a teenager and returned a disciplined young man ready to serve his country.

Anybody who succeeds in the military and especially a Marine has to submit to authority. By doing so he is one step closer to his Commander and Chief and I don't mean our President.

"The centurion said,'Lord I am not worthy for You to come under my roof but say the word and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man under authority with soldiers under me...I say go and he goes and to another Come! and he comes." When Jesus hear this he marveled and said:"Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel." Matthew (18:8-10)
