“And as soon as he (Jesus) had spoken, immediately…” The man with leprosy found David’s words in Psalms to be true: “For he spake, and it was done.” As they say, “He (Christ) had a way with words.” But this does not surprise His own elect who know Him as “The Word.”
Is it any wonder then that we find such statements as those of the centurions at Capernaum “…speak the word only, and...[it] shall be...” How we need to emulate the nobleman whose son was at death’s door; “And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.”
The apostle Paul lived by this rule. When all was dark around him, and there was no human hope of survival, Gods Word assured him all would be well. To which he testified openly, “Be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.”
“A man is as good as his word,” they say. Well, The Man is as good as His!
