Healing the son of a royal official – 1752 – Joseph-Marie Vien (1716 – 1809 )
The healing of the nobleman’s son is more than a lesson on having faith. (John 4:46-54) It is a lesson on how to act if you really have that faith.
When Jesus said “Go,” the nobleman went – after dragging his feet a little. He eventually had to accept that Jesus could heal his son from a distance. He braced himself and went on his way home like Jesus told him.
What if Jesus had gone with him instead? Would the nobleman’s faith have grown at all?
Sometimes our prayers are answered far differently than we expect…
That’s because God works in his way and his time – not ours.
