A Most Loving Response
“So Jesus came
again to Cana of Galilee where He had made the water wine. And there was a
certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus
had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come
down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.” Jn. 4:46-47
Whenever certain
people heard that Jesus was coming to town or was simply near by, they
almost always responded in some discernable way. For example, two blind men
were sitting by the road. When they heard Jesus was coming by, they cried
out, “Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David.” (Matt. 20:29) When the
blind beggar, Bartimaeus heard that Jesus was coming, he too responded in
much the same manner: “Jesus Son of
David, have mercy on me!” (Mk. 10:47) In the case of Zacchaeus however,
when he learned that Jesus was about to pass by, he climbed a tree just to
get a better glimpse of Him. So, in all these examples, their response
brought them a tremendous blessing.
