Day 32 - John 4:43-54

43 At the end of the two days, Jesus went on to Galilee. 44 He himself had said that a prophet is not honored in his own hometown. 45 Yet the Galileans welcomed him, for they had been in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration and had seen everything he did there.

46 As he traveled through Galilee, he came to Cana, where he had turned the water into wine. There was a government official in nearby Capernaum whose son was very sick. 47 When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged Jesus to come to Capernaum to heal his son, who was about to die.

48 Jesus asked, “Will you never believe in me unless you see miraculous signs and wonders?”

49 The official pleaded, “Lord, please come now before my little boy dies.”

50 Then Jesus told him, “Go back home. Your son will live!” And the man believed what Jesus said and started home.

51 While the man was on his way, some of his servants met him with the news that his son was alive and well. 52 He asked them when the boy had begun to get better, and they replied, “Yesterday afternoon at one o’clock his fever suddenly disappeared!” 53 Then the father realized that that was the very time Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” And he and his entire household believed in Jesus. 54 This was the second miraculous sign Jesus did in Galilee after coming from Judea.

When Jesus says something to us do we believe what he says and go on our way?  Or do we continue to look for another answer to our problem?  When Jesus says something is done he means what he says.  When we read the Bible we can ask the Holy Spirit to reveal things to us in His word.  When scriptures jump out at you or you get a deeper insight into the passage it is the Holy Spirit speaking to you through the word of God.  It is a beautiful thing!

The Galileans welcomed him because they had SEEN. Reminds me of that verse that says that those who believe without seeing will be blessed.
