When the great missionary John C. Paton was translating the Scriptures for his South Sea Islanders, apparently there was no word for “believe” in their native tongue. For a long while he was really ... More
After passing through Samaria, Jesus returns to Cana in Galilee (v. 46). Perhaps He wanted to follow up on the ones He had witnessed to during the wedding feast. While there, a nobleman (royal officer) from Capernaum, some twenty miles away, came to see if Jesus would come and heal his son who was dying (vv. 47-49). It was evident that his position and money could not solve his problem, so he was hoping that the healer would save his son from death.
Jesus was concerned that the man’s faith was based only on signs and wonders. He said, “You may go; your son will live” (v. 50). So this man took Jesus at His word and left. The time was 7 o’clock in the evening. The man believed Jesus and started to return home. He probably did not travel that night because it would have been too dangerous. When he met up with his servants the next day his faith was confirmed (vv. 51-52). They said the boy had been healed at 7 o’clock the night before which was at the exact moment Jesus made His promise (v. 53). The man shared what had happened with his family and as a result the entire family put their trust in Christ. This was the second miraculous sign Jesus did in Galilee after coming from Judea (v. 54). This showed how Jesus’s power was not limited to space because he was in Cana and the sick boy was in Capernaum.
Application
In which areas of my life have I truly put my complete trust and belief in Christ? Was there I time when I realized that there was nothing I could do to solve a problem on my own? What results did that have on the rest of my family?
