| Signs and WondersPosted Jun-27-08 08:49:59 PDT "Unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders," Jesus told him, "you will never believe."
The royal official said, "Sir, come down before my child dies."
Jesus replied, "You may go. Your son will live."
The man took Jesus at his word and departed.
John 4:48-50
This miracle is more than a favor to an official; it was a sign to all the people. John's Gospel was written to all mankind to urge faith in Christ. Here a government official had faith that Jesus could do what he claimed. The official believed; then he saw a miraculous sign. We would do as well to have faith such as this. So many of us need to see evidence, need to see a sign before we believe. God would have us believe without benefit of a sign. This official not only believed Jesus could heal; he also obeyed Jesus by returning home, thus demonstrating his faith. It isn't enough for us to say we believe that Jesus can take care of our problems. We need to act as if he can. When you pray about a need or a problem, live as though you believe Jesus can do what he says.
God bless you,
JH
