“So” is a brief, yet profound word. On it, hinges everything in our lives. “So” is the link between what God said and what we do. Jesus told the man to return home, for his critically ill son would live. The father had to decide what he would do. Would he believe? Would he go away without bringing Jesus with him as he had intended? Would he continue to insist that Jesus return to his home with him to heal his son? What he did next could well seal the fate of his precious child.
The Bible says, “So” the man believed, and went his way. That simple act of faith saved his son.
Of course we have also been told much by Jesus. He has offered us many promises. He has issued various commands. And, as with every person, there comes a point where we must decide what we are going to do with what God said. Will we also believe? Will we also rise up and begin living as if what God said is actually true? Will we begin to move forward in our life or remain where we are? Will we truly behave as if we serve the Lord of the universe?
So?
