Jesus Heals and Officials Son

Listen to what the official demands…

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 Festival, 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 signs and wonders,” Jesus told him, “you will never believe.”

49 The royal official said, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”

50 “Go,” Jesus replied, “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 got better, they said to him, “Yesterday, at one in the afternoon, the fever left him.”

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 his whole household believed.

54 This was the second sign Jesus performed after coming from Judea to Galilee.

Jesus did not even have to go and see the boy. He healed him from a distance. He did it through the faithful the Father of the boy. The Father believed and demanded that Jesus come down and heal his son. Expectation!

You think we should ask like that? It isn’t wrong to demand what we need from God. He will listen. Many times He will give you what you ask for. Many times not. But one thing is for certain, it will be in His time and not ours. His plan and not ours. We must understand though, that unless we ask we will never receive. That is truth.

“Sir, come down before my child dies.”, was the officials statement. In the name of Jesus politely demand what you need right now. Say it clearly, so that you will hear it as well as God. Pray. Ask, Seek, Knock…ASK. Knock until your knuckles bleed. #JesusSaves

Amen
