The Gospel of John 4:49 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.” (John 4:49 KJV)

Here is a pleading of a man who for sure has already exhausted all that he thought can be done by human effort. Though no mention is made about it, before he came to the Lord, one would surmise this royal personality may have already summoned all the medical experts that served his household. And, of course, they were unable to arrest his son's ailment from deteriorating. [All healing is from God!] But sadly, that's the way human mindset always do, they go for their natural options and resources first whenever issues of life come up and as it worsens only then they turn to God, as a last resort.

This man is no different from many in the world. Yet, as we can see, when one turns to God, as always, this man found the Lord. And as he puts his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, not as a perfect man, but as a sinner, God hears. God loves us all to come to Him, as we are. Not as if we are good and qualified. No one is. Anyone who comes to God through Christ Jesus, un-presumptive and pleading, “Lord, please come now before my little boy dies.” (John 4:49b NLT), God gives His full attention. So, we must not forget to come to Him First, "and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matthew 6:33b). His open invitation to come to Him stands. He is calling us all: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
