Jesus and His Disciples - Conversation and Prayer. 017 - An Obvious Question?
We are back to John 5, examining Jesus and His conversations. We are confronted again with a conversation Jesus started that took a turn the man by the pool of Bethesda did not expect!
Not only did Jesus subvert the expectations. He illustrates through His power for our good, displaying His glorious lovingkindness, two truths that impassion our faith and worship.
“Therefore do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need, before you ask Him.” Matthew 6:8
“Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, 21 to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.” Ephesians 3:20-21
When asked, “Do you wish to get well?” The man answered, “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.” John 5:7
He seems to be looking for sympathy, or some alms for his daily support, but what he got was total healing.
Our So What?
Take God seriously, listen to the word, believe the Holy Spirit when our inner man is agitated, shaken, or ever troubled by a promise in Scripture, believe, pray, and glorify God boldly! Our Father who resides in the heavens hears and answers by His power, purpose, and eternal wisdom, and gives us the perfect answer!
Glory to our Creator, Savior, and Sustainer.
Brethren, let’s pray for one another,
