Jesus Heals an Official's Son at Capernaum in Galilee
This story reveals that Jesus' restoration is for every class and type of person. No human being is exempt from pain, no matter how much money or power they possess. In this case, the royal official is in a desperate and heartbreaking situation with a dying son. He begs Jesus to heal, and Jesus does so with perfect timing. The official took Jesus at His word by believing in Him, showing that trusting Jesus can change a heart at any level of society.
Questions for Reflection
- Diving deeper, Jesus talks a lot about signs and wonders in this passage. Have you ever experienced anything like this?
- Jesus speaks against simply seeking a sign but believing in Him on a deeper level; what does this look like for you?
- Our society has a lot of pre-determined hierarchies; does the Kingdom of God speak to a different type of structure?

About this Plan
Jesus performed many signs, but John recorded seven so that his readers would believe. This plan has the same aim. It presents a collection of miracles that Jesus and his disciples performed, showing us God’s character, His heart toward humanity, and His ability to move on our behalf. Not only that, we have Jesus' promise that through the power of the Holy Spirit, we will do those things and more.
