Beyond the Miracle explores John 4:43-54, contrasting the Samaritans who believed in Jesus based on His word alone with the Galileans who welcomed Him only for His miracles. Through a royal official whose desperate plea for his dying son leads to genuine faith, we learn that true faith trusts God's promises rather than demanding signs. The official's journey from seeking a miracle to simply taking Jesus at His word resulted in not only his son's healing but the salvation of his entire household. This narrative challenges us to examine whether we're following Jesus for what He can do for us or for who He truly is.
