"The man took Jesus at his word and departed."
~ John 4:50
What role to we play in making a miracle happen?
Hard to say.
I've never know anyone able to perform miracles at will.
Jesus rarely seems to do the same miracle twice.
And when Jesus does a miracle it can happen by word, touch, being touched or other means.
So what can we take from Jesus healing the official's son in John 4?
It's not a magic formula to get the miracle you want.
But there are some principles of faith that seem to show up.
I hope you'll join us tomorrow,
in person or online,
as we look at miracle #2 in the Gospel of John.
For the next 7 weeks we look at the 7 miracles of Jesus in the Gospel of John. Why did John highlight these miracles? What do they tell us about Jesus? And what does this mean for our faith?
