08/11 John 4:46-50
In the course of his journey through Galilee, he arrived at the town of Cana, where he had turned the water into wine. There was a government official in the city of Capernaum whose son was very sick. 47 When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea and was traveling in Galilee, he went over to Cana. He found Jesus and begged him to come to Capernaum with him to heal his son, who was about to die. 48 Jesus asked, “Must I do miraculous signs and wonders before you people will believe in me?” 49 The official pleaded, “Lord, please come now before my little boy dies.” 50 Then Jesus told him, “Go back home. Your son will live!” And the man believed Jesus’ word and started home.
FAITH
The government official exhibited tremendous faith. He believed in Jesus and knew that Jesus would provide for him. Jesus made a promise and the official believed Him and headed back home. Our faith is measured by testing. Until we are tested we don’t understand faith.
