The nobleman said to Him, “Sir, come down before my child dies!” John 4:49 NKJV
Spiritual faith grows with use. Note the progression and fruitfulness of this nobleman’s growing faith. He initially came to Jesus because he had heard of His healing power. After he came, he was not discouraged by Jesus’ response (v. 48). Then he fully believed Jesus’ words; “your son lives” (v. 50). His increasing obedient faith blessed the servants and his whole household. We never know what Christ may do when we exercise our faith completely in Him. We don’t need to understand everything in our life. We just need to trust Him. He knows and makes all things well. —Sam Thorpe
God’s work we cannot do,
But our part He will not do.
