John 4:51
Praise the Lord! Today's verse is John 4: 51,
as he was going down. His servants met him and told him that his son was recovering.
It must have been hard for him to turn away and go home with Jesus assurance that his child would live and he had faith enough to turn and walk back the 20 mile road with nothing but Jesus assurance to comfort his heart.
It is the very essence of faith that we should believe that what Jesus says is true. If Jesus says a thing, it is not the case that it may be true, it is the case that it must be true because Jesus words are yes and amen. This phrase is servant met him, proclaims a beautiful story.
No doubts their servants, having sat beside for some time, slowly watching his son weaken until it was the point of death. All of a sudden they see, a marvelous or miraculous sign. The fever instantly left. It was totally gone, and the boy is completely well. One can imagine the joy that must have filled that home.
And some of his servants left immediately to find his master in order to give him that good news. Quite possibly the master could have seen the servants coming to meet him. And even before they were near him. You should imagine what thoughts would have crossed his mind. Seeing his servants coming. However, when they came close enough, you could see their face. It was full of joy. He could understand it is a joyful message or news they are bringing. Yes, they brought the same message which Jesus gave him. He is going to live, and they came with the message. He is living. The same Jesus is Alive today. He is the same yesterday today and forever. Yes, let us. Look to him in faith.
Prayer
Let us pray, Heavenly Father. I thank you that this Jesus, who healed the servant son just by a word is the same Jesus today. Who will say the same word to us.
We commit ourselves to your hands, oh God, whatever the problems we are going through, we commit it into your hands. Give us your grace and mercy. Lord, we accept the miracles of Father in Jesus name, I pray. Amen. God bless you.
