Read John 4:43-54
What was your big “take-away” from this passage / message? Does it change how you pray for healing for those who are sick / injured?
The dad (official) obviously believed in Jesus (on some level) in order to come to Him in the first place (John 4:47). Then John 4:53 says he himself believed. What’s the difference?
