JESUS HEALS THE OFFICIALS SON


John 4:43-54

43 After the two days He left for Galilee.
44 (Now Jesus himself had pointed out
That a prophet has no honor in his own country.)
45 When he arrived in Galilee,
The Galileans welcomed Him.
They had seen all that He had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast,
For they also had been there.

46 Once more He visited Cana in Galilee,
Where He had turned the water into wine.
And there was a certain Royal Official
Whose son lay sick at Capernaum.
47 When this man heard
That Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea,
He went to Him and begged Him to come and heal his son,
Who was close to death.

48 Unless you people see Miraculous Signs and Wonders,
Jesus told him, you will never believe.

49 The royal official said,
Sir, come down before my child dies.
50 Jesus replied, You may go. Your son will live

The man took Jesus at His Word and departed.
51 While he was still on the way,
His servants met him with the news that his boy was living.
52 When he inquired as to the time when his son go better,
They said to him,
The fever left him yesterday at the seventh hour.

53 Then the father realized
That this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him,
Your son will live.
SO HE AND ALL HIS HOUSEHOLD BELIEVED.

54 This was the Second Miraculous Sign that Jesus performed,
Having come from Judea to Galilee.
(John 4:43-54)

Here a Royal Official demonstrates his Faith in Christ Jesus.
His son is near death and he seeks Jesus out
Believing that He can heal him.

He tells Jesus of his son's condition
And Jesus tells him that his son will live.
The son does live,
Demonstrating that proximity is not required for Christ Jesus to heal—
He does not have to be present.

The Royal Official, on his way home, is told that his son lives
And that his healing occurred exactly at the time Jesus had told him.
SO HE AND ALL HIS HOUSEHOLD BELIEVED.
This demonstrates the power of Miracles in bring people to Faith.
