The Nobleman goes home and finds that his son is indeed recovering. Death no longer has hold of him. This week we see that the Nobleman truly believes in Jesus. He and his whole household. He believes in the person of Jesus. It was a progression of faith. From Jesus needing to come with him (Physical presence) then to believe in the power of Jesus to heal at His word and finally today that Jesus became real to him as his saviour. He believed in the person of Jesus.

The Nobleman had to come to terms with the very challenging words that Jesus spoke to Him. "Go your way, your Son lives." What if he goes and heads back and his wife says to him that nothing has changed or worse, that he had died. No phones to ring through. He just had to accept Jesus' word. Jesus word is failsafe! The nobleman moved his faith from needing the Physical presence of Jesus to heal to believing the power of Jesus word is enough.

The Nobleman is desperate to get to the one person to could heal His son. (Jesus) But he came on His terms. He could only believe that Jesus could heal his son if Jesus came with him back to Capernaum 25km away. His faith was only in the Physical. It has been said that Jesus wanted to Heal this mans soul as much as He wanted to heal the dying son. Lets see how this conversation plays out.
