Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. Luke 7:7
The centurion, born in heathenism, educated in the idolatry of imperial Rome, trained as a soldier, seemingly cut off from spiritual life by his education and surroundings, and still further shut out by the bigotry of the Jews, and by the contempt of his own countrymen for the people of Israel,—this man perceived the truth to which the children of Abraham were blinded. He did not wait to see whether the Jews themselves would receive the One who claimed to be their Messiah. As the “light, which lights every man that comes into the world” (John 1:9) had shone upon him, he had, though afar off, discerned the glory of the Son of God.
To Jesus this was an earnest of the work which the gospel was to accomplish among the Gentiles. With joy He looked forward to the gathering of souls from all nations to His kingdom. DA 317.3 -4
