John 5:15-47

Read John 5:16-47 – It’s like a grand fireworks show is going on in my head as Jesus explains himself!  Read, read, read these verses and be enthralled by the truth!  The Jewish leaders want a reason to kill Jesus; He called God His Father, thereby making Himself equal with God (:18).  That would be blasphemy for anyone else, but Jesus goes on to explain himself, his mission and his divine dependence on God the Father.  Jesus gives life :21; Jesus has absolute God-given authority to judge :22.  Jesus’ power to give life is from God :26.  Jesus’ claims are valid by the eyewitness account of John the Baptist :31-33; by the teachings and miracles He works by God’s will :36; and the testimony of the LORD through His Scriptures :37-39!!!!!  Beloved, you can look at other faiths and you will not find this.  Jesus is worthy, wonderful, and powerful.  His mission is to rescue and his mission is to judge.  Will you know him as Rescuer or Judge?🎇🕊👨‍⚖🎆

John 5:1-15

judyinthesky91

Read John 5:1-15 – No limits!  – There are crowds of sick people at the pool of Bethesda, and Jesus zero’s in on one lame man and asks:  Would you like to get well? (5:6)  It is beyond what the lame man can conceive.  He explains to Jesus why he can’t be healed.  It’s a short exchange and Jesus simply tells him to pick up his mat, and walk.  The Jewish leaders do not like this – mind you – they had much to lose (in their minds) over Jesus being Messiah – their career and social standing for example.  They began questioning the man, but he didn’t even know it was Jesus who healed him.  Later, Jesus finds him in the Temple and tells him to stop sinning or something worse will happen to him.  We don’t know what his sin was, but suffice to say, this man had some baggage.  Beloved, whatever limits you put on Jesus and whatever baggage you are clinging to, it’s time to let it go.  Jesus is right there asking if you would like to be well – what are you waiting for???
