Bottom line: Jesus can use the thing we most want as a means to met our greatest need.
Sometimes we ask God why things happened. Sometimes we wish certain things never did happen. But often, if our perspective is right, we come to realize that we gain something or were blessed in someway that we would never have received if the thing we wished had never happened didn't happen.
What if the nobleman's son had not been ill? What if the thing he wished had never happened never did happen? How would that have affected him?
In reality, Jesus used the thing that he most wanted corrected (i.e. his son's illness) as the means for providing for his greatest correction (i.e. his salvation).
