A Roman centurion demonstrates Faith not Religion (Matthew 8)
At the time when the Bible was written in Hebrew, there was no Hebrew word for 'religion'.
Religion was integrated into life in general, not split off into a separate compartment as it is today.
It was part of planting seeds, farming crops, and then eating them.
Making clay pots and washing clothes were either a part of God's will or an act of respect for Him (Andrew Parker).
The Roman centurion knows that the inner order will bring worder in the world.
He asked Lord Jesus just "to say the word"!
His religion was life and his every day life was religion.
At the end of Liturgy, the priest tells people to take religion/faith home and in every day life :
- "Let's go home in peace".
And people respond : - "In the name of God"!
