Introduction
Jesus shook things up from the moment of His birth.
Everywhere He went was, by default, a divine appointment.
The Gospel of John demonstrates this on every page.
I like the way Jesus was (and is) unpredictable.
In chapter 1, He interacted with Andrew and another man (disciples of John the Baptist) in a unique way.
“What do you want?” — catching them off guard, but He had their allegiance from that moment forward.
When He met Peter - He spoke prophetic words to him (“you will be called Cephas”).
When Jesus saw Philip, He simply said “follow me” — that’s all it took.
Nathaniel required another approach…but he followed Jesus 100%.
All of them had to go tell someone else about Jesus, the Messiah.
Jesus handled the wine shortage — but not without protesting to Mary (2).
When He encountered the money changers cheating people in the Temple Courts, He turned into a roaring lion — defending the Holiness of God.
His conversation with the Pharisee Nicodemus (3) is one of the most important conversations in the New Testament — He clearly set out God’s heart of love and grace.
The Samaritan woman in chapter 4 couldn’t have been any different from Nicodemus, yet Jesus’ conversation with her was equally earth-shattering.
What an impact Jesus had…many Samaritans came to faith in Christ over those few days.
One thing each person had in common was the fact that they were in the darkness…they needed the light that only the Light of the World can bring.
And He brought it!
In fact, we all share that in common.
As we move into the latter half of and into chapter 5, Jesus continues to turn the world upside down, one person at a time.
He performed 2 healings - one for a man that sought Jesus out and another for a man that didn’t even know who Jesus was.
They both faced impossible situations - both needed a miracle.
They both had impossible situations - both needed a miracle.
We all need miracles from time to time.
Whatever you are facing (financial, physical, spiritual, emotional, addictions, etc.), DO YOU WANT TO GET WELL?
I do!
I WANT TO GET WELL.
I want Powerhouse to get well (AF, Power County, etc.)
We all need miracles from time to time.
Whatever you are facing (financial, physical, spiritual, emotional, addictions, etc.), DO YOU WANT TO GET WELL?
I do!
I WANT TO GET WELL.
I want Powerhouse to get well (AF, Power County, etc.)
Big Idea
We all need to get better
I have a “Get Well” card for each of you today!
It’s from Jesus.
Its the best get well card you can imagine.
“I know you inside and out and I want you to get well.
I am the one that will make you well…trust me” Jesus
Jesus knows what ails you and He wants to make you better
No Matter what
Jesus’ purpose is to make you better
Transitional: When you get desperate, you might say or do anything
URGENT FAITH WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET WELL
Explanation:
When Jesus left Samaria…he went back to the region of Galilee — He made His way to the city of Cana — the place of the wedding/wine miracle
John 4:46-52
Urgent faith has no pride
The individual concerned is simply described as a royal official, probably on Herod’s payroll.
His anxiety is a deeply human one: his son is dangerously ill at home in Capernaum, some twenty miles away.
Jesus’ earlier miracle at Cana is quite probably known to the father and, on the basis of this ‘faith’ in the supernatural power of Jesus, he beseeches him to come to his home and perform a healing miracle on his boy who was apparently, by this stage, at death’s door.
Jesus’ rejoinder seems at first blush surprisingly brusque: Unless you people see miraculous signs … you will never believe (48).
It is possible, however, to construe this as a challenge to the father to exercise faith in the miraculous power of God operating through Jesus.
If an element of apparent rebuke is present, there is a similarly unpromising response recorded in his reaction to his mother (2:4) and the Syrophoenician woman (Mk.
7:27).
As in the other cases cited, the apparent refusal provokes a fuller and more earnest request, Sir, come down before my child dies (49).
It is not a moment for discussion of the niceties of faith; action is needed!
Action follows though in the form of a promise, You may go.
Your son will live (50).
