"After this there was a feast of the Jews
and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep
Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew,
Bethesda, having five porches.
In these lay a great multitude of sick
people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting
for the moving of the water.
For an angel went down at a certain
time into the pool and stirred up the
water; then whoever stepped in first,
after the stirring of the water, was made
well of whatever disease he had.
Now a certain man was there who had
an infirmity thirty-eight years.
When Jesus saw him lying there and
knew that he already had been in that
condition a long time, He said to him,
'Do you want to be made well?'
The sick man answered Him, 'Sir, I
have no man to put me into the pool
when the water is stirred up; but while
I am coming, another steps down before
me.
Jesus said to him, 'Rise, take up your
bed and walk.'
And immediately the man was made well,
took up his bed and walked."
..........John 5:1-9
Previously, the man had focused on a
particular method of healing, but now
Jesus focused his attention on the Healer.
The man obeyed Jesus and did what he
could not do before.
LORD,
Thank You that we can focus on You Lord,
and not on other methods, for You are our
healer.
We want to be made well!
In Your name we are made whole, by
Your word, by Your blood and by Your
power!
Thank You!
..........In the name of Jesus!
