DISCOVER JESUS' MIRACLES
DAY TWO
The second miracle Jesus performed was to heal the nobleman's son.
Rabbi Sobel points out two details in this study that are miraculous in and of themselves:
The official truly believed that when Jesus said his son was healed, his son had actually been healed.
Jesus was in Cana and the sick son was in Capernaum showing us there is no need for Jesus to be physically present for miracles to happen.
While the miracle itself was about the nobleman's son being healed, the details surrounding the location show how Jesus was fulfilling other prophecies.
The NIV Application Commentary describes the geography and relation of the two locations: "Since Cana is in the hills of Galilee and Capernaum is by the sea, 'coming down' is a note of accuracy embedded in the story. The two villages were about twenty miles apart, separated by hills. Jesus heals the boy at a distance instead of traveling to Capernaum."
