Summary

John 4:43–53 In today’s story, Jesus meets a royal official whose young son is gravely ill. The father begs Jesus to come heal him—but instead, Jesus simply says, “Go, your son will live.” At that moment, the man faces a choice: will he demand proof, or trust Jesus’ word alone? Without any signs or dramatic displays, he believes—and begins the long walk home. Along the way, his servants run to meet him with incredible news: his son is healed! This story reminds us that Jesus’ power is not limited by distance or circumstance. His word alone brings life, hope, and healing. Parent Reflection: Faith often grows when we trust before we see. Talk with your child about times they’ve had to believe God’s promises even when they didn’t see the answer right away. You might share a personal story of your own—something you prayed for that required patience and trust. ---------------- 🎁 Be part of what makes this podcast possible!
