The Roman military command probably wouldn't have looked too kindly on a centurion being friendly with the Jewish residents of Capernaum as the centurion in Matthew 8 and Luke 7 was. Making a public appeal like this to an itinerant Jewish faith healer was likely to jeopardize his career. He had life-or-death command over nearly one hundred soldiers and numerous servants, but he was willing to risk it all for the sake of one of them. This is a great example for leaders on all walks of life.

When he had entered Capernaum, a centurion came forward to him, appealing to him, “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly.”
Matthew 8:5-6
The centurion in Matthew 8 had power and wealth, but he humbled himself to approach an itinerant preacher on behalf of a slave. He commanded Roman soldiers, but he recognized Yeshua as his superior. The centurion both served and commanded those under his authority without contradiction or confusion.
"My sheep hear my voice." #jesus #yeshua
