Jesus in the Gospel of John (5.1-18)

Praying for Our Army Work (Yesterday's Prayer Warriors: 27/100)

Pray that we would be discerning enough to ask people if they really want to be well

That we would properly divide the Word and understand the commands of God

Jesus in the Gospel of John (5.1-18)

Jesus attends a feast in Jerusalem 1

He visits a place where the sick are looking for miraculous healing 2-5

Jesus knew the condition of the man and how long he had been that way 6

Jesus asks a very obvious but important question 6

He heals the man even though he didn’t give a clear answer to Jesus’ question 7

He commands the man to do something a healthy person can do 8

He healed him and told him to pick up his mat on the Sabbath 9

Jesus didn’t even wait around to take credit for the healing 13

He does look for the healed man later 14

He believes that sin can lead to worse infirmities 14

Jesus was persecuted for His interpretation of the Sabbath 16

He calls God His Father 17

He told them He good work on the Sabbath because His Father works on the Sabbath 17

He made Himself an equal with God 18
