Faith reveals great things

I know this is going to be one of the most anticipated weeks in my life. It is inevitable. GOD is always GOOD. HE spoke to me again in today’s Gospel.

John 4: 43-54

     After two days he departed to Galilee.

     For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

     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.

     So he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum. When this man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death.

     “Unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders,” Jesus told him, “you will never believe.”

     The royal official said, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”

     Jesus replied, “You may go. Your son will live.” 

     The man took Jesus at his word and departed. While he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was living. When he inquired as to the time when his son got better, they said to him, “The fever left him yesterday at the seventh hour.”

     Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” So he and all his household believed.

     This was the second miraculous sign that Jesus performed, having come from Judea to Galilee.

Indeed, FAITH can make things happen. My mom sent this text message to me, she must have thought of me when she read this:

In today’s Gospel, we witnessed the Royal Official’s faith grew. First, he believed that Jesus could heal his son. Second, he believed that Jesus would do what he claimed. Third, he and his whole family believed in Jesus.

Amen, I say. God has written my life so beautifully. I will keep my faith.
