Jesus loves to forgive sins! He came so He could bring life to a dead and broken people. The Centurion's servant, the widow's son and the "sinful" woman are just a few examples.
Jesus declared to the woman. "Your sins are forgiven." Then He said to her, "Your faith has saved you." Only God can forgive sins and only God can save. Why did Jesus NOT say, "Your sins are forgive because I have saved you."? What part did the sinful woman's faith have to do with her salvation.
Jesus was "amazed" at the Centurion's faith! I am amazed at the Centurion's humility. Everyone thought that he was "worthy" to receive healing for his servant because of his good deeds. He considered himself "unworthy" to even have a conversation with Jesus. His humility and faith were commendable to Jesus.
Only God saves. We must respond to Him with humility and faith.
