Daily Devotional Thoughts . . .
I Believe in Jesus Christ
Dare We Go?
Read John 4:46–54
The official in this story was probably an officer in Herod’s court and would have legal authority over Jesus. In spite of this, he addressed Jesus as “Sir” and begged Him to make the twenty-mile journey back to Capernaum to heal his dying son. This shows that the official recognized Jesus’ divine authority.
Instead of going to Capernaum Jesus said: “You may go. Your son will live” (John 4:50).
The official obeyed and returned home to find his son had recovered just as Jesus promised.
Distance is no barrier to Jesus’ healing power. He made the universe and controls time and space. We can never put so much distance between ourselves and Jesus that He cannot heal us. Like the official, we need to approach Jesus and ask for healing.
You or someone close to you may be dying inwardly and need spiritual, emotional, or physical healing. The official’s long journey to meet Jesus started with one step. You do not have to travel miles. You can go to Jesus now through prayer.
Challenge for Today: Seize the moment. Ask Jesus, Lord of the Universe, to heal you in body, mind, and spirit.
