THE OFFICIAL BELIEVED

john 4:46-54

 

Key Concept:

Faith includes believing in Jesus' authority and power.

After Jesus met with the woman at the well in Samaria, she believed Jesus was the Messiah and told the people in her town. Many people in Samaria believed in Jesus as the Messiah. Two days later, Jesus resumed His travels in Galilee. While in Cana, He was stopped by an official who was in great distress because his son was at death's door. Yet his son was in Capernaum, roughly twenty-five miles away. Jesus revealed His authority over sickness in a way that showed His Messiahship.

As you examine John 4:46-54:

 

✞   Reflect that Jesus is compassionate even when people look for signs to believe.

✞   Emphasize that faith is believing without seeing, but seeing leads to deeper faith.
