He Speaks

The second miracle Jesus performed was healing a sick son, when a father asked Jesus to come to his house so that his son might live. The curious thing is that Jesus didn’t go to the man’s house, he just told the man to go, and then said, “Your son will live.”

There are many times we feel we know just what to do in order to get Jesus to answer, to bless us, or to provide for us.  If we just get this person to pray for us, we’ll get better.  If we just attend this service in another town where great things are happening, maybe we’ll receive a blessing.

All Jesus was looking for was faith, and this father had it.  When Jesus told the father to go, and his son would live – the father went.  He didn’t stand there and argue with Jesus and beg him to come.  He took Jesus at his word, and the man’s son lived.

Jesus speaks to us daily, and he wants to converse with us personally, not always in a mass or through another person. And his words, spoken to us directly, are just as powerful as any lofty words spoken to us by man, even in the name of God.

Just go to Jesus today and tell him of your need, then return to what you must do for the day, and expect Him to answer.
