Jesus/Healer/Savior

Intro:

Blake Griffin: I only accept criticism from those who I would ask for advice!

*There was an assertion that NBA stars were individually tanking so there could force their way to the New Jersey Nets to form a super team...

-Blake hadn’t dunked in months for the Pistons…the first play he made for the Nets he dunked...

*Blake said, “Everyone had been talking about how terrible I had become…why would I care what they say?”

TS: “What does any of this have to do with Jesus you might be asking yourself? In the text today we are going to hear Jesus talk about testimony of who he is…we have to see Jesus’ actions, hear his words and figure out who Jesus REALLY is!

John 4:46–54 CSB

46 He went again to Cana of Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. There was a certain royal official whose son was ill at Capernaum. 47 When this man heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to him and pleaded with him to come down and heal his son, since he was about to die. 48 Jesus told him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will not believe.” 49 “Sir,” the official said to him, “come down before my boy dies.” 50 “Go,” Jesus told him, “your son will live.” The man believed what Jesus said to him and departed. 51 While he was still going down, his servants met him saying that his boy was alive. 52 He asked them at what time he got better. “Yesterday at one in the afternoon the fever left him,” they answered. 53 The father realized this was the very hour at which Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” So he himself believed, along with his whole household. 54 Now this was also the second sign Jesus performed after he came from Judea to Galilee.
