A Bible study...
Topic: God's Authority
When the centurion asked Jesus to heal his servant,he said, "I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof... but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed. For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it" Luke 7:6-8
Jesus marveled and said to the people, "I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel" Luke 7:9.

Why do you think that the centurion have more faith than anyone in Israel? He, himself, lived under a structure of authority and he perceived that the kingdom of God operates in the same way.
And so, he believed that a command from Jesus would be just as effective, as a personal visit.
