Today more than ever, we want to give you thanks for life and for your oversized love.
Lord, you are so faithful that words cannot really express our feelings.
Just give us hearts that know how to adore you, give us quality time with you.
Serving you is a grace,
serving you is a testimony,
serving you is a story, our story.
So, to illustrate our teaching this morning,
we want to talk about a man.
The Bible does not give us his name,
nor his age,
or his family situation,
or his profession.
We know he was ill, but we don’t know what illness he had, or what caused it.
All we know is that he had been ill for 38 years.
John 5 tells us that there was a pool called Bethesda with five gates.
There, they were hopeless cases,
terminal cases,
cases for which society could do nothing more,
no treatment,
no drugs, no operations,
just a miracle,
just the grace of God.
And the reason why all these cases were brought together was the Pool of Bethesda, in which there were miracles,
healings,
restoration when the angel came down to stir the water.
After the angel’s visit, there was a condition attached to it: the first person to plunge into the water received his deliverance, whatever his condition.
And there was a man who had been ill for 38 years, with no solution and no help,
no support,
no love.
And one day, Jesus came into this place.
He went straight to him and asked him just one question.
The explanations began,
he began to justify himself but Jesus in his love and compassion delivered the sick man and he was delivered.
This is how life found the paralytic,
This is how strength visited the man.
Like this man, Jesus delivered us, and sometimes we don’t have time to be grateful.
This morning, let us stop and give thanks to the Lord for his hand of glory in our lives, let us take this moment to worship and lift up the name of our Father.
Praise the Lord for your delivrance.
2 Timothy, 4:18 – The Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will save me and bring me into his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever! Amen!
We cannot rely on men, our God is there to bring us blessing.
Even if we were connected to a bad seed,
the Lord wants to deliver us and bring us into his kingdom.
So let us celebrate our Father and tell him how wonderful he is.
His greatness is above all else.
Receive the grace due to you, Father.
Good day to you all
Good day to you all
