Take him at his word.



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?

2 Cor 5:21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. Read the context Sometimes a trade seems too good to be true: Swapping a beater for a brand new free car or an empty wallet for a blank check. At the cross, the sin and rebellion that keeps you from God is placed on Christ. You received his righteousness. It might seem too good to be true, but it's what God did for you. Why does God's grace at the cross surprise you most? Who is...

Romans 12:1–2 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.
