Pastor Mike continues with our study of the Gospel of John with John 4:43-54
This Bible study centers on Jesus' encounter with a desperate official whose son is near death, illustrating that true faith is not rooted in miraculous signs but in trusting Christ's word alone. Drawing from John 4:43–54, it emphasizes that while people often seek God only in crisis, the Holy Spirit works through such desperation to draw individuals to Christ, as seen in the official's journey from seeking a miracle to believing Jesus' simple declaration, 'Your son will live.' The passage highlights the contrast between superficial faith driven by signs and saving faith grounded in the eternal reliability of God's Word, culminating in the man's spiritual transformation and the salvation of his household. The sermon underscores that Jesus' authority transcends physical presence, and the greatest miracle is not physical healing but spiritual rebirth, calling listeners to place their faith in Christ's promise rather than experience or emotion.
