John 4:49,50


Today's verse is from John 4, 49, and 50. 
The official said to him, sir, come down before my child dies. Jesus said to him go, your son will live. The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went on his way. 
Sir, come down before my child dies.
We find that the man has come to a place that he knows Jesus is the only answer. No doubt the doctors have long since been called in, but of no avail, so the only hope was Christ, as Christ is the only hope for all the humanity.
 But again, his faith was tested.
Jesus does not agree to go with him, he just said. Go, your son will live. The man would have been taken by surprise. In effect, Jesus is telling him that he does not have to be there personally for the miracle to be brought out. But that is, word will suffice.
He was a man who is accustomed to being obeyed. People obeyed him, but now he realizes that Jesus is not going to accompany him to Capernaum. But he had the promise from Jesus Christ that his son will live, and that is the reason for which he has come. Would he continue to press for the personal presence of Jesus by the side of his dying son or would he accept Jesus word at the face value. He did believe. The man believed the word of Jesus. And then he went his way. When Jesus gave him his promise, I have every confidence that the presence of the Lord was exceptional and would be sensed by all. Consequently, it was not a mere promise, but rather the Eternal logos John 1, 1 says in the beginning was the word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. That was the Eternal logos. That was the word that was the promise he received. Today, are you in that situation Where your only hope is Jesus? 
Prayer 
Lord Jesus I thank you for your promises in my life. Your promises are yes and amen. I commit myself to your hands. I pray in Jesus name.

John 4:1,2

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4th chapter and verses one and two. We are studying from the fourth chapter of John from today. Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees have heard that Jesus was baptizing more disciples than John, although Jesus himself did not baptize but only his disciples. In this verse we again see about baptism Jesus and his disciples along with John was baptizing in the same place. It is not written whether Jesus and his disciples followed the baptism of John. We do not know. The difference between John's baptism and the Christian baptism is given clearly in the Bible. In Acts 19:3,4, we read " 'Unto what where you baptized?' And they said 'unto John's baptism' . Then Paul said, 'John verily, baptized with the baptism of repentance saying unto the people they that they should believe on Jesus Christ who is to come after him' ". John was preparing a people for Jesus coming. And they repented of...

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4 5. As he came to the town of Samaria. Called psychar near the field that Jacob had given to his son, Joseph. Hallelujah. In this verse, we see that John the author of this book, had an accurate knowledge of the land of Israel, And also he knew the history of that land. In Genesis 33 19. We see that when Jacob came back to the land of Israel from the house of Leban his father in law, he brought This place For a hundred pieces of silver. It was called the city of Sheikhim.  Jacob says he had given Joseph one portion above his brother. In Genesis 50:25. Then Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel saying, God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here. We see the hope and the confidence Joseph had that Israel People will go back to their land which happened through the hand of Moses. Joseph knew the promise that God had made to Abraham to Isaac and to his father, Jacob, Concerning the land of Canon...
