:Jesus is both God and man, divine and human. <br>As a man and a devout Jew, Jesus admired the centurion's marvelous faith. <br>As God, Jesus was well-pleased with the centurion's faith in him. (See Luke 23:39-43) <br> In the Old Testament, the Holy Spirit testifies that God can indeed be delighted and pleased with admirable men of faith and obedience who honor Him with truth and good works.
