Let me make a comparison of the attitude of Jesus with those who are committed to a religious denomination, priests, pastors, ministers and so on. Forcing people to follow their rules, norms of each denomination.
In the next reading, we learned about the great faith of a Roman Centurion, who was not Jewish or religious, however, accept Jesus cured and healed the servant Centurion praising his great faith, Jesus is not imposed any conditions or obligation as making any kind of oblation or sacrifice as did the Jews,
But now those who claim to be servants of the many Christian denominations, require people what Jesus never demanded or requested, such as, religious celebrations, offerings, impositions, tithes, and other things.
Given that the FE is a gift of God, the question is, why God gave him the Centurion so wonderful and powerful grace move mountains?.
The answer could be found in the same reading.
MATTHEW 8
5 4 (http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/matthew/matthew8.htm#foot4) When he entered Capernaum, 5 (http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/matthew/matthew8.htm#foot5) a centurion approached him and appealed to him,6 saying, "Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, suffering dreadfully."7 He said to him, "I will come and cure him."8 The centurion said in reply, 6 (http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/matthew/matthew8.htm#foot6) "Lord, I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof; only say the word and my servant will be healed.9 For I too am a person subject to authority, with soldiers subject to me. And I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come here,' and he comes; and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it."10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, "Amen, I say to you, in no one in Israel 7 (http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/matthew/matthew8.htm#foot7) have I found such faith.11 I say to you, 8 (http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/matthew/matthew8.htm#foot8) many will come from the east and the west, and will recline with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the banquet in the kingdom of heaven,12 but the children of the kingdom will be driven out into the outer darkness, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth."13 And Jesus said to the centurion, "You may go; as you have believed, let it be done for you." And at that very hour (his) servant was healed.
