The Healing of the Nobleman’s Son
Miracles of Jesus #03
John 4:46-54
As we look at this second Miracle of Jesus. We see Jesus comes back to Cana. There is a nobleman whose son was severally sick to the point of death, he heard about Jesus and he knew that if anyone could help, Jesus could. For this man to come to Jesus took nerve and humility. He was a nobleman, most bible scholars say this man was very high official under Herod. For any High official to go for help and in the text we can see that he begged Jesus. He had nerve because it could have cost his position and he had humility because he knew that he had to get on his face before God. Following Jesus take nerves because it will cost you everything and it takes Humility because we need to get on or face before God. We have to acknowledge we are nothing.
