Accessing God's Compassion

"At that time the highly valued slave of a Roman officer* was sick and near death. When the officer heard about Jesus, he sent some respected Jewish elders to ask him to come and heal his slave. So they earnestly begged Jesus to help the man. “If anyone deserves your help, he does,” they said, “for he loves the Jewish people and even built a synagogue for us.”... "“I tell you, I haven’t seen faith like this in all Israel!”. Luke 7:3-5 & 9

There's no rigid rule by which a man is saved. However Humility faith and work are very close to the heart of God. This kind (even to his slave!) humble (before Jesus) Roman Officer was valued by the people (because of his good works - 'he even built us a synagogue'. Jesus saw faith in him because he assured Jesus that whatever he says he believed it will happen. So man and God (Jesus) testified to the works and faith of this man. Both testimonies earned him a miracle.

How are you remembered today by God and by man? Assuming these two criteria were to be used to assess you today for a potential miracle, can your faith and works earn you God's compassion? Good morning.
