Word of the Day: John 4:50

Word of the Day

"Jesus said to Him, Go, your son lives." The man believed the Word that Jesus spoke to him and started off".
John 4:50

This real life event took place 2000 years ago as a son of a "Royal Official" was on his death bed. If you are a parent, you know that when your child is seriously ill, the seriousness of the situation seems to be multiplied 100 times. So it is easy to understand that some interpretations of this incidence say the dad literally begged Jesus repeatedly for his son's healing. That's why as a dad myself, I am so impressed with the response of this royal official father when Jesus told him his son would be okay. "The man believed….and started off." I probably would have kept asking Jesus if He was sure my son was healed. Then I probably would have asked Jesus to come with me to make sure. Wouldn't it be neat to live our lives with such faith as to believe "the Word that Jesus spoke" and then go?

Lord I know from Your Word that without faith it's impossible to please You. Thank you for your gift of faith and Your amazing love. Please help my life to bring You glory by the way I live out the faith You have given me. I love You Lord!
