THY SON LIVETH!

John 4:51 & 52
"51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.
52 Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."

We are studying the Gospel of John when a nobleman from Capernaum had traveled twenty miles pursuing Jesus. Hoping to get Him to heal his dying son. When he found Jesus he anxiously begged for his son to be healed. When Jesus did not respond the way the nobleman wanted he remained PERSISTENT. He admits that if Jesus doesn't help him no one will. All his FAITH is in Jesus! Recognize that this is how we all come to our LORD wanting our problem solved. 

And our LORD solves the nobleman's problem; "Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; THY SON LIVETH. And the man BELIEVED the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way." This nobleman gets to speed through his FAITH JOURNEY. As soon as he finds Jesus he is heading back home with the BLESSED ASSURANCE that "thy son liveth."

In today's verses he get confirmation for his FAITH; "And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, THY SON LIVETH. Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him." The nobleman's servants came to share the good news with him before he even gets home! Healing had taken place as Jesus said it would. Done. Confirmed! What a HUGE event in the life of this family. This changes them forever! Their FAITH JOURNEY is accelerated! They will feel indebted and closer to GOD more than ever...

Matthew 6:27 "27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" Jesus has questions... Beginning our study this week with "Why Do You Worry?" Questions have always been a cornerstone of education, used to assess students’ knowledge, promote comprehension, and stimulate critical thinking. Well-crafted questions lead to new insights, generate discussion, and promote the comprehensive exploration of the subject. It makes sense that GOD would use questions VERY effectively. In yesterday's verses, Jesus asked "Are you not MUCH BETTER than birds?" His questions do not end there. In today's verse we read another one, "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" This is a sentence our culture needs to learn. No anxiety, no thinking, no wanting will alter our bodily height, or any other condition of our life that is fixed by God’s laws. We often wish things were different than they are, but our "wo...

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...

praise Him

Luke 1:51-53 "51 He hath shewed strength with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. 53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away." This is Mary's Magnificat. Beginning with verse forty-six Mary's responds to Elizabeth’s blessing is EPIC! In this poem Mary praises GOD for His blessing to her and His faithfulness to Israel.  Mary's Magnificat also highlights a series of reversals in which the proud are humbled and the humble are exalted! Which we read in today's verses; "He hath shewed STRENGTH with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and EXALTED them of low degree. He hath FILLED the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away." We should marvel at GOD'S choice of this poor young girl to be the m...
