COME AND HEAL MY SON
John 4:46-47, KJV
"46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. 47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death."
The care of parents goes beyond the ordinary for their children. Oftentimes, you'll see parents wish that the evil that would befall their little ones befall them. As it lies in their power, they want to do all to protect them from pain and any form of suffering. The thoughts are even high if the child is a baby.
Indeed, if you have seen a little child endure pain before, you might wish the same. Thinking that way isn't at all wrong. It shows love - sacrificial love that wants to bear the burdens and sufferings of another as his. Jesus borne our griefs and even carried our sorrows (Isa.53:4). Everything was laid upon him just for our sake.
To hear that one child is at the point of death and there's a solution somewhere is a solution already found. No matter your ego or hatred for that quarters where your solution is, just for the sake of your kid, you'll tread that road to receive that solution for him. Anyone can get to a place where his effort, money or worldly assets cannot give him the breakthroughs he's looking for. At such moments, we learn the vanity in those things and come to put our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the healer and doer and giver of all good things.
Considering the man in this passage, you'll see that he has no shame in begging for help from Jesus. He didn't say, "Jesus is a man who's no different from him!" If he holds unto that, his son would die because of his ego. Rather, he leaves all, meets Jesus and asks him for help. He tells him, "my son is sick, come and heal him." Many times when we find ourselves in unpleasant situations, we don't ask. We only worry or complain. At times, we get angry at God who we'll accuse of watching when things went wrong. That shouldn't be our attitude. Such an attitude blames the Creator instead of understanding the message in the situation that has come upon us. Not this man however. He asked! The Bible says, "till now, ye have not asked. Ask that your joy may be complete" (John 16:24). This man asked. To ask another for help takes some sort of humility. It is asking for what you don't have. It is the acknowledging of the power of he who has. This man asked and he received. Jesus tells him, "go, your son is healed."
No bargaining! It comes to pass just that way. His son was healed and I could imagine the happiness. You won't lose your issue. Irrespective of the condition surrounding their birth or existence, they shall be made whole. Beyond what medical science can attend to, God will also have mercy on them. He'll touch them and be their healer. Your love and desire to see them whole shall come to pass and your labour over them shall not be futile. Amen!
PRAYER: Call God into your critical situation. Tell Him to come and amend it. Tell Him the criticality of it. Don't withhold anything from Him. You'll see His hands.
