John 5:1-18 New International Version (NIV) The Healing at the Pool 5 Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda[a] and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. 3 Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. [4] [b] 5 One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?” 7 “Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.” 8 Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” 9 At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. The day on which this took place was a Sabbath, 10 and so the Jewish leaders said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat.” 11 But he replied, “The man who made me well said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’ ” 12 So they asked him, “Who is this fellow who told you to pick it up and walk?” 13 The man who was healed had no idea who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there. 14 Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.” 15 The man went away and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well. LISTEN TO THIS TRUTH According to this story Jesus passed by the multitude of people by the pool side just to locate and heal just one man, Child of God that is no coincidence, something about that man must have appealed to the heart of God for for him to send Jesus to that mans rescue and if you are able to that thing that attracted Jesus to paralyzed man believe me you would have gotten your self a big secret on how to make God never to say no to your when you are in need. But the big question is; WHAT IS THAT THING ABOUT THAT MAN THAT MADE JESUS BYPASS EVERYBODY BY THE POOL SIDE JUST TO HEAL ONE MAN? bring your answers and lets discuss them.
