John 4:50
The man believed what Jesus said to him and left.

From Kerygma - (by Judith Concepcion)
Once there was a seed. God said to him, “You may appear to be tiny and insignificant but in due time, you will become a huge plant. But you have to fulfill certain conditions before this will come to pass. You have to allow yourself to be buried in soil and be exposed to rain, wind and sunshine.”
The seed wasn’t happy with what he heard for he didn’t want to get dirty and wet and bear the sun’s heat.
The seed disobeyed God. He hid himself from human hands.
He waited.
Months, years and decades passed but nothing happened.
He remained just a seed.
In today’s Gospel, we witnessed how the royal official’s faith grew. First, he believed that Jesus could heal his son. Second, he believed that Jesus would do what He claimed. Third, he and his whole family believed in Jesus.
Faith must be used in order for it to grow. It’s not enough that we believe that Jesus can help us with our concerns.
We need to show that in our actions. How’s your faith? Do you live as though Jesus can do what He says?
Let us pray +
“Lord, I believe that You are healing and touching me now, right now, in the hiddenness of my room, and through the anointing of Your Word that I welcome with faith and humility. Amen.”
I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.
