So, What Is Faith?

The royal official's encounter with Jesus Christ, reveals his growing faith. When Jesus commands him to go, he takes Him at His Word and his dying son is restored to life.

We can see what happens to this loving father and focus on the healing instead of focusing on who Jesus is. When we turn to the Lord only because of what we want Him to do for us, we miss the joy of knowing Him, and the relationship He wants us to have with Him. However, when we find ourselves in difficult circumstances, and turn to the Lord, listen to His Word, and obey His voice, we will grow in faith.
