John 4:47,49,50



John 4:47, 49, 50 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way. Because Jesus had performed many miracles, His fame had grown. When the nobleman heard that Jesus was nearby, he immediately went to Him to get Jesus to heal his son. The son must have been seriously ill for the nobleman to come to Jesus. The religious leaders were against Jesus, and the noble man must have risked getting into trouble with them just by visiting Jesus. But he didn’t care. His little boy was more important to him than the approval of the religious leaders. He just had to do what he could to save his child. But Jesus didn’t even go to see the little sick boy. He only spoke the word that the boy would get well. And the noblemen believed Jesus. Because the noblemen had faith in Jesus, and because Jesus was the very Son of God, the little boy was made whole. Just like the nobleman, we too should believe in Jesus. Not just believe that He can do things for us, but that He is the Son of God. If we trust in Jesus, no matter what comes our way, everything will be all right.
