The Everyday Sabbath

Take him at his word.

Published 6 months ago • 1 min read

John 4:49-51

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

“Go,” Jesus replied, “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.

​

The official had no immediate proof that his son was healed. He'd have to travel all the way home to see his child.

But he took Jesus at his word.

While you wait to see your Savior, you hang on to his words. That's faith.

And like that father, you won't be disappointed.

God is faithful with every promise he makes in his word.

What promises of God do you have to trust without immediate proof? What does this story teach you about God's faithfulness?

Hosea 3:1 The Lord said to me, “Go, show your love to your wife again, though she is loved by another man and is an adulteress. Love her as the Lord loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods..." Read the context The Prophet Hosea's wife was unfaithful. But God told Hosea to reconcile with her. Why? It would be an illustration for us of God's love: Our sin is faithlessness. Our rebellion shows our love for anything but God. We are an unfaithful spouse to God. Yet his love does not...

Romans 5:9–11 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. Read the context What's the most expensive thing you've ever purchased? Your...

Romans 5:6–8 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Read the context Who would you be willing to die for? I'm guessing your list might be short: A friend... a child... a spouse... But what about someone who consistently wrongs you?...
