The Gospel of John 4:50-51 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“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. And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.” (John 4:50-51 KJV)

"Your son lives!" This is such a very comforting declaration, from the mouth of the One who is the giver of life. For a person in a deep state of desperation, these words must be a great relief. Running out of options, coming to the Lord Jesus to plead, certainly was a last-ditch effort for this nobleman to save his son. And, he did the right thing by faith, believing what the Lord Jesus said to him.

This miracle is one of the many healing miracles the Lord Jesus performed here in Capernaum. This is the work of grace by the person of grace who is Jesus. He is full of grace. “From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another.” (John 1:16 NLT)

This man, is one of the many examples of sinners who came to the Lord to seek healing. Like many others, He did not come performing religious rituals of confessions seeking forgiveness, neither he came like the religious people in a holier than thou attitude. He came as he was, a sinner recognizing he needed a savior to help him in his time of need.

He is a mirror for us to see who we are and do the same, totally dependent in the grace of God. Like him, a sinner, when one comes to the Lord believing, he receives healing. Now, as He, the risen Lord is alive, we have the assurance. As He did, during His time in the flesh, we are assured, as it is written: “And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction.” (Matthew 9:35 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
