Scripture: John 4:53 (ESV)“The father knew that was the hour when Jesus had said to him, ‘Your son will live.’ And he himself believed, and all his household.” This verse is the culmination of a journey—not just the boy’s healing, but the father’s faith. When the official hears that his son was healed at theContinue reading “Faith That Grows”

Scripture: John 4:52 (ESV)“So he asked them the hour when he began to get better, and they said to him, ‘Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.’” The official’s faith, already alive and growing, is now sharpened into wonder. He doesn’t simply rejoice at the good news—he asks when. Why? Because he’s lookingContinue reading “The Exact Hour”

Scripture: John 4:51 (ESV)“As he was going down, his servants met him and told him that his son was recovering.” Faith walked before sight. The official had already believed Jesus’ word and begun his journey home. He didn’t demand confirmation in Cana. He didn’t delay in uncertainty. He obeyed in faith. And now, as he’sContinue reading “The Confirmation Comes”

Scripture: John 4:50 (ESV)“Jesus said to him, ‘Go; your son will live.’ The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went on his way.” No touch. No spectacle. No journey back to Capernaum. Just a word. Jesus responds to the official’s desperate plea not with drama, but with authority: “Go; your sonContinue reading “The Word Was Enough”

Scripture: John 4:49 (ESV)“The official said to him, ‘Sir, come down before my child dies.’” The official hears Jesus’ rebuke—but he doesn’t argue. He doesn’t defend himself. He doesn’t try to debate theology or explain his motives. He simply pleads again, more humbly than before: “Sir, come down before my child dies.” There is noContinue reading “Lord, Please Come”

Scripture: John 4:48 (ESV)“So Jesus said to him, ‘Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe.’” This is not the response we might expect. A desperate father pleads for his dying son, and Jesus responds with a rebuke—not just to him, but to all those listening. The “you” here is plural. It’s asContinue reading “Seeking Signs or the Savior?”

Scripture: John 4:47 (ESV)“When this man heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.” Desperation has a way of exposing what we truly believe. This government official, with all his power andContinue reading “Desperate Faith Begins”

Scripture: John 4:46 (ESV)“So he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And at Capernaum there was an official whose son was ill.” This verse opens with quiet significance. Jesus returns to Cana—the very place where He performed His first miracle, turning water into wine. That earlier event wasn’tContinue reading “Back to Cana”

Scripture: John 4:45 (ESV)“So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast. For they too had gone to the feast.” At first glance, this verse seems to contradict the one just before it. Jesus had said that a prophet has no honorContinue reading “Welcomed, but Not Understood”

Scripture: John 4:44 (ESV)“For Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no honour in his own hometown.” This verse provides a sobering insight into Jesus’ return to Galilee. Though He was headed back to familiar territory, He did so knowing full well the reception would be mixed. He Himself had declared the reality thatContinue reading “No Honour at Home”
