Jesus had entered the city of Cana where He encountered a royal official whose son was sick. When he heard that Jesus was in the area, he made it a point to see Him. He requested that Jesus heal his son. Jesus told him to go home, his son would live. The Bible says that the man took Jesus at His word and left.
I must admit I am a little skeptial of what people tell me. It is not because I am cynical (I don't think) but rather people may not have all the correct information.
Not so when it comes to Jesus. He is right in everything He says. However, people, even those who claim to be disciples, are hesitant to believe Him. Jesus says come to me for rest, do you believe He will give you rest? He said I can give you real life, do you trust Him to do so? He said I can give you assurance, do you believe He will do what He says? In a world where trust has become rather illusive, we need to be able to trust someone who will never let us down. Everyone who has given their life to Christ has found that Jesus fulfills His promises.
I will not put my trust in humanity, they tend to come up short. However, Jesus never has let me down, you can take Him at His word.
