<p class="ser noprint"Sermon on the Amazing healing of the Nobleman’s son<\/strong> — Expository sermon outline by G. E. Watkins from John 4:43-54.<\/p>\n

Introduction:<\/strong> Read John 4:43-54<\/p>\n

1. A nobleman stood at the bedside of his son. Son dying. Doctors helpless. Mother weeping.<\/p>\n

2. Father is out of options. Needs a miracle. Thinks “water to wine” (John 2:1-11). “I know where there is a miracle working man.” Government keeps track of those that cause a ruckus in Jerusalem (John 2:13-25). Doesn’t send servant, goes himself.<\/p>\n

3. Finds Jesus in Cana, an uphill journey from Capernaum. Asks Him to come down.<\/p>\n

4. Jesus changes the subject, v. 48.<\/p>\n

1) Reveals that He is concerned more for the soul of the nobleman than for the life of the child. …of such is the kingdom of heaven (Matt. 19:14).<\/p>\n

2) Jesus’ purpose is to seek and save the lost.<\/p>\n

a. “This is the work of God that ye believe on him whom he hath sent,” John 6:29.<\/p>\n

b. “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost,” Luke 19:10.<\/p>\n

c. Purpose of miracles are to THAT end, John 20:30-31.<\/p>\n

5. Nobleman repeats, “My child is going to die. Come down.”<\/p>\n

6. Jesus says, “Go thy way. Thy son liveth.”<\/p>\n

1) The man had to make a choice, requires his sleep-fogged mind to think, “Well, any miracle he can do there he can do here. If he can’t heal here, he can’t heal there.<\/p>\n

2) The man believed and turned to go back home.<\/p>\n

7. It got dark before he could get home so he stops and stays somewhere during the dark hours.<\/p>\n

8. As he continued going down his servants met him.<\/p>\n

1) they say, “Thy son liveth,” Just as Jesus had said.<\/p>\n

2) This is not to say that the child is still barely hanging on. This would have been no reason to come.<\/p>\n

3) Nobleman asks when the improvement began.<\/p>\n

4) Not a matter of “improvement.” Fever “left him.”<\/p>\n

5) Left him the day before, at 1 PM, when Jesus said, “Go thy way…”<\/p>\n

9. The nobleman and his house believed. What did they believe?<\/p>\n

1) Lamb of God, John 1:29.<\/p>\n

2) Teacher come from God, John 3:2.<\/p>\n

10.We ask now, What is God’s message in this narrative?<\/p>\n

1) Jesus’ first concern is your soul.<\/p>\n

2) Jesus is not a respecter of persons.<\/p>\n

3) Jesus’ power is astonishing.<\/p>\n

DISCUSSION:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I.   THE CASE OF THE NOBLEMAN’S SON SHOWS THATJESUS’ FIRST CONCERN IS YOUR SOUL<\/h2>\n

1. Not your health, 2 Cor. 12:7-9. (“grace is sufficient”)<\/p>\n

2. Not your wealth. (gain world, lose soul, Matt. 16:26; God, mammon, Matt. 6:24)<\/p>\n

3. Not your relationships, Matt. 12:47-50 (do the will … brother, sister, mother)<\/p>\n

4. YOUR SOUL.<\/p>\n

1) Thief on the cross, Luke 23:39-43. Jesus wouldn’t save his life but wanted to save his soul.<\/p>\n

2) Sons of Zebedee, Matt. 20:20-23. Not interested in prestige but in their godliness, vv. 26-27<\/p>\n

3) Woman of Samaria, John 4:1-42. Not interested in depth of well, class rivalries, gender differences. Jesus was interested in her soul, v. 10.<\/p>\n

II.  THE CASE OF THE NOBLEMAN’S SON SHOWS THATJESUS IS NOT A RESPECTER OF PERSONS<\/h2>\n

1. It did not matter to Jesus that the father was a royal official, with an entourage.<\/p>\n

1) v. 48, “ye” reveals it.<\/p>\n

2) Most ministers today would fall all over themselves if the governor called.<\/p>\n

3) Jesus stayed with His plan. He valued those of low estate.<\/p>\n

2. Jesus expects us to do the same, James 2:1-9.<\/p>\n

1) As a mother should care for her children no matter the status of those that demand her time.<\/p>\n

2) As a teacher should teach rich and poor alike.<\/p>\n

3) As an officer should enforce the law without fear or favor.<\/p>\n

3. We are equal in Christ, Gal. 3:27-38.<\/p>\n

1) Judged by the words of Christ, not net worth, John 12:48.<\/p>\n

2) Rewarded according to works, not privilege or gender or race, Matt. 16:27.<\/p>\n

[We have noted thus far that I. Jesus’ first concern is your soul, and that II. Jesus is not a respecter of persons. Finally let us note that God teaches that…]<\/p>\n

III. THE CASE OF THE NOBLEMAN’S SON SHOWS THAT JESUS’ POWER IS ASTONISHING<\/h2>\n

1. How shall God teach you that He has the power to answer your prayers from Heaven?<\/p>\n

2. How shall He entreat you to trust His exceeding great and precious promises?<\/p>\n

3. A general learns of an arms manufacturer that claims to have the answer to the enemy’s latest threat. He wants to believe. How does he come to believe? HE GETS A DEMONSTRATION!<\/p>\n

4. It is no wonder that Jesus said, “And thou Capernaum…” (Matt. 11:23).<\/p>\n

5. Jesus simply utters words from a distance and it was done.<\/p>\n

6. He utters words and the winds and the sea calm, Mark 4:35-41.<\/p>\n

7. He utters words to call a man from the grave, John 11:38-44. This is why I trust Him. John 6:40; 1 Thess. 4:16-18; John 5:24-29; 1 Cor. 15:51-57.<\/p>\n

1) The power of the Son has been demonstrated.<\/p>\n

2) That power is ASTONISHING.<\/p>\n

CONCLUSION:<\/strong> The case of the Nobleman’s son shows that God has much to tell you in these few vss.<\/p>\n

1. About Jesus’ top priority. YOUR SOUL.<\/p>\n

2. About Jesus’ sense of fairness. HE IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS.<\/p>\n

3. About His power. HIS POWER IS ASTONISHING.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
