What this episode covers

Taking Jesus at His Word - Jesus Heals the Royal Official’s Son (John 4:43-54) Bible Reading: After the two days he left for Galilee. (Now Jesus himself had pointed out that a prophet has no honor in his own country.) When he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, for they also had been there. Once more he visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum. When this man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death. "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. While he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was living. When he inquired as to the time when his son got better, they said to him, "The fever left him yesterday at the seventh hour." Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live." So he and all his household believed. This was the second miraculous sign that Jesus performed, having come from Judea to Galilee. John 4:43-54 Scripture Reflections to Consider: Why does Jesus say that “a prophet has no honor in his own country”? Are you “too familiar” with Jesus? How much do you honor Jesus? How much do you do all things unto Christ? Are you more attracted to Jesus himself or just what he can do for you? Do you go to Jesus first, or do you use Him as a last resort? Do you take Jesus at His Word? How often do you read His Word? For more information about our ministry, please visit https://www.kingdomd.org.
