How would you react if you request something and seemingly get a harsh reply? How would you react if you requested something from the Lord in prayer and you do not get any word of comfort and rather only a short reply such as “go”?
How we react to the word of God is of essence.
The official by the time of Jesus had requested Jesus to come along with him in order to heal his son, but the reply was “go …”. How did the official react? With anger? With doubt? With pressure? The official by that time listened, believed and followed the reply that he received from Jesus.
How would you react in such a situation?
By that time, indeed the son of the official got healed.
