John 4:47-50
When he heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, who was near death.
Jesus said to him, "Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will not believe."
The royal official said to him, "Sir, come down before my child dies."
Jesus said to him, "You may go; your son will live." The man believed what Jesus said to him and left.
The Gospel according to John tells us many stories of the miracles Jesus Christ worked during his time on earth. In this chapter, a royal official asks Christ to heal his son and Jesus tells him his son will live. While little happens during this exchange, the royal official shows us a good example of how the Lord can work miracles in our lives with just a little faith. When we allow ourselves to trust in the Lord, no matter how small, there is always the possibility for miracles to be worked in our lives.
