47 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.
John 4:47
Faith almost always starts in a crisis. When things are going good, it’s easy to forget God, but when life tumbles in around us, we suddenly start looking to heaven for help.
In our passage today, an official’s son is dying and this man comes to Jesus out of desperation. Jesus heals his son but not before chastizing the group that people are looking for signs and miracles for belief.
Jesus is not just a healer – a side show attraction, but He is the Son of God. Are we just looking for what Jesus can do for us, or are we ready to serve Him as Lord of all?
