Healing the Official’s Son

John 4:46-54 – A royal official came to Jesus, pleading for Him to heal his dying son. Instead of going with him, Jesus simply said, “Go, your son will live.” The man took Jesus at His word, and upon returning home, he discovered his son had been healed at the exact moment Jesus had spoken.

Faith is at the center of this miracle. The official believed Jesus’ words before seeing the result. His trust in Jesus’ power and authority led to healing, demonstrating that faith does not require physical proof—only trust in God’s promises.

  • Faith means trusting in Jesus’ word, even before we see results.
  • God’s power is not limited by distance or circumstances.
