We started the new year off by discussing the Roman Centurion's faith in Jesus; Matthew 8:8. It reminded us of Jesus' parable about wine skins, Mark 2:22; "You can't put new wine in old wine skins..." Some of us felt that was a reference to teaching Jews (old wine skins) who had so many man made rules that they struggled to accept Christ vs. the Centurion (a Gentile), who had few preconceptions to overcome and accepted Christ with faith and Jesus said, "Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israel have I found such faith"  This would seem to set the stage for millions of Gentiles accepting Christ while Israel still struggles.
