THIS WEEK'S WORD!!!
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?" (John 5:5-6 NKJV).
Thirty-eight years is a long time for a person to be an invalid. Even when a person is accepting the handicap he has, there must be a longing in his heart for something to happen that could change his circumstance.
Jesus brought new hope to this invalid man in the Scripture passage recorded above when he realized the difficulty in getting into the pool of Bethesda. He (Jesus) told this man to "Get up! Pick up your bed (mat) and walk." Finally the man's day of longing had arrived and he found a new way of life. A life that included no longer being an invalid.
Wrap you head around this: Jesus told the man to pick up his bed and walk even though the man thought he would need to go into the pool of Bethesda to be healed. This man's situation looked hopeless. But Jesus spoke to Him the word of healing, and immediately he experienced a new beginning. When we want deliverance and healing we must listen to what God's Word says and not to our own ideas. When Jesus is Master of our life, we have a daily hope and purpose for living.
