Read Luke 7:1–10.
“A centurion there had a slave…”
People of the United States* reading this passage need to stutter at the word slave, a reminder of our own horrific national history.

Sometimes I look at the Bible and think all God is about is justice: “For the Lord loves justice” (Psalm 37:28); “I know that the Lord secures justice for the poor and upholds the cause of the needy” (Psalm 140:12); “For the Lord is a God of justice” (Isaiah 30:18); “What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” (Micah 6:8).
