Prophet

John 4:43-54

Bill Takis

In these verses of John, we learn of one of Jesus’ miracles – healing the son of a royal official. When one reads these passages – particularly where Jesus says “Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe” – one may think that Jesus is angry at us for requiring proof of his divineness. I believe Jesus is merely taking a deep sigh and a gentle laugh, and accepting us for our shortcomings.

We are surrounded by miracles every day – whether they are the unexpected healing of a sick loved one, the symmetrical beauty of a spring flower, or the sweet smile of a small child. I believe Jesus is telling us that we should rejoice in all His miracles – big and small – and remember that He is with us, whether we recognize those miracles or not.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please grant us the clarity to recognize the many miracles you create and the wisdom to accept them in whatever form they take. Amen.
