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...

Elisha’s example

1 Kings 19:19-21 "19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him." In Luke 9:54, after James and John sought to call down fire on a Samaritan village that rejected Jesus, they referenced Elijah, saying, “even as Elias did?” Jesus then taught three lessons about rejection: 1- Discipleship demands sacrifice, embracing hardship and forgoing earthly security. 2- Following Jesus requires immediate, un...

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!
