Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5)
John 4:53-54 The Message52-53 He asked them what time he began to get better. They said, “The fever broke yesterday afternoon at one o’clock.” The father knew that that was the very moment Jesus had said, “Your son lives.” 53-54 That settled it. Not only he but his entire household believed. This was now the second sign Jesus gave after having come from Judea into Galilee.
For Reflection
"53.And he believed, and his whole house. It may appear absurd that the Evangelist should mention this as the commencement of faith in that man, whose faith he has already commended. Nor can it be supposed that the word believe — at least in this passage — relates to the progress of faith. But it must be understood that this man, being a Jew and educated in the doctrine of the Law, had already obtained some taste of faith when he came to Christ; and that he afterward believed in the saying of Christ was a particular faith, which extended no farther than to expect the life of his son. But now he began to believe in a different manner; that is, because, embracing the doctrine of Christ, he openly professed to be one of his disciples. Thus not only does he now believe that his son will be cured through the kindness of Christ, but he acknowledges Christ to be the Son of God and makes a profession of faith in his Gospel. His whole family joins him, which was evidence of the miracle; nor can it be doubted that he did his utmost to bring others along with him to embrace the Christian religion."
Bible Commentaries John Calvin PrayPray and acknowledge Christ to be the Son of God. Pray and extend your belief into the real world. Pray as though God is King and you are God's devoted confederate.
