If caregiving families were that important to the Son of God, he has something to teach us through these encounters. Guest blogger Mark Arnold examines each of these stories in his occasional five part series here at Different Dream. Today, Mark breaks down the account of Jesus healing an official\u2019s son at Capernaum.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>During his three years of ministry, as recorded in the Gospels, Jesus met the parents of five children whom he healed or raised from the dead. We can learn from the stories of Jesus, kids with special needs, and their parents by studying the parents\u2019 actions and how Jesus responded to them. We may also see which parent we are most like!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><b>What Happened in the Story<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In John 4:43\u201345, Jesus heals a royal official\u2019s son at Capernaum. The official hears that Jesus is in the area and begs him to come and heal his gravely sick son. At first Jesus dismisses him. When the father persists, Jesus tells him \u201cGo, your son will live.\u201d The father takes Jesus at his word. On his way home, his servants bring him the good news that his son is alive and getting better. They realize that the recovery started when Jesus spoke to the boy\u2019s father. The whole household then believes.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><b>How the Dad Acted and Reacted<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span><i>Desperate and despairing:<\/i> His son was dying. He was desperate to persuade Jesus to come and help.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><i>Persistent:<\/i> He wasn\u2019t put off by Jesus\u2019 initial dismissal. When Jesus said, \u201cUnless you people see signs and wonders,\u00a0you will never believe,\u201d the father asked Jesus again.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><i>Hopeful and perhaps disappointed or worried:<\/i> The passage says he took Jesus at his word that his son would be okay. Were there tiny flames of hope in his heart? Was he disappointed that Jesus didn\u2019t come with him? Was he worried about what he would find when he got home? Probably he reacted in all three ways.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><i>Believing:<\/i> Once he got the good news about his son, the father compared the time the boy had recovered to the time he had spoken with Jesus. When he saw they matched, he believed as did the whole household.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span><b>What We Can Learn from Jesus, Kids with Special Needs, and their Parents<\/b><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>We may also be desperate and despairing, looking for any way to help our child. We may look in the wrong places at times. We may give up. However, this father knew Jesus had performed miracles before. He believed he could again, and so he persisted.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>God doesn\u2019t always heal, but that doesn\u2019t mean we should stop bringing our child\u2019s needs to him. We will still have times of hope, disappointment, and worry. Like this father we can hold on to the hope and to God\u2019s promises.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This father believed only after he realized that his son had recovered when Jesus said he would. Our faith and belief doesn\u2019t have to wait for a miracle. Our trust comes because we and our child are in God\u2019s safe hands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>To read more of this series, check out the links below:<span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/differentdream.com\/2020\/07\/jesus-kids-with-special-needs-and-their-parents-part-1\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Jesus, Kids with Special Needs, and Their Parents, Part 1<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/differentdream.com\/2020\/07\/jesus-kids-with-special-needs-and-their-parents-part-2\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Jesus, Kids with Special Needs, and Their Parents, Part 2<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/differentdream.com\/2020\/08\/jesus-kids-with-special-needs-and-their-parents-part-3\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Jesus, Kids with Special Needs, and Their Parents, Part 3<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/differentdream.com\/2020\/08\/jesus-kids-with-special-needs-and-their-parents-part-4\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Jesus, Kids with Special Needs, and Their Parents, Part 4<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/differentdream.com\/2020\/08\/jesus-kids-with-special-needs-and-their-families-part-5\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Jesus, Kids with Special Needs, and Their Parents, Part 5<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span><i>Do you like what you see at DifferentDream.com?
