The Faith of the nobleman while weak does not realize that Christ can speak the word and heal the child. There is more than one miracle here. A new life passes into his own spirit, and he, too, bound in the death-grasp of formal religion, liveth! A Father's love has yearned for him. He came down indeed to save the child, to save you and me and to rescue us from the pit and crown us with loving devotion and compassion. Christ has come down ere the child died.
