What Makes Faith Revolutionary?

"Faith is always risky. And the centurion gets it. And he takes on the risk willingly. Giving his allegiance, pledging his allegiance to Jesus could mean losing his job—and not just losing his job but maybe even losing his life. But he does it anyway." What is faith? It's not mere intellectual assent. It's not praying a prayer. It's revolutionary, life-giving allegiance. We learn this from one of the most unlikely people. A Gentile. And not just any Gentile, a Roman centurion—a high-ranking officer of Israel's conquerors and oppressors.
