All the people gathered at the Bethesda Pond are suffering from various diseases.
I was sick.
Many people in this world have always suffered from sorrow and disease,

Do you want to be filled with the Holy Spirit?
Do you want treatment?
Listen carefully.
When the pond water moves, people know that the water has a healing effect.
I knew.
However, the fluctuations of the water with its healing power are our own.
Rather, God has to move the water.
Let's relate the text to the problem of our salvation.
Healing the disease by stirring up the water of the Bethesda Pond
It was an angel sent by God, but it was the gift of life to wash away our sins.
The fountain is Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
The waters of Bethesda's pools do not always have healing powers, but they
The healing of our Lord Jesus Christ, though it is effective when
Abilities are constant.
The fountain of Christ's Atonement is not limited;
Even if it goes all in, you can wash it well.
Therefore, dear brothers and sisters,
Enter the fountain of Christ.
There will not be a single dead person there.
No one will be imperfect.
My dear brothers and sisters!
Enter the spring waters of Christ that make you whole.
Beloved brothers and sisters!
Let's look at all kinds of sick people gathered by the pool of Bethesda.
There, due to all kinds of ophthalmic diseases, the eyes cannot be seen.
The blind had gathered.
Saints!
do you look right?
Do you see Jesus Christ?
Because you and I suffer from the sickness of the soul that is the result of sin.
I don't know if I'm blind or not able to see Jesus Christ.
Let's look to Jesus Christ.
Let's look to Christ who opens our eyes.
By the pool of Bethesda, I was unable to use my legs due to all sorts of diseases.
There were lame people who couldn't.
What about ourselves?
We too will rise up with our sins and the spiritual sicknesses caused by them.
The lame who cannot lead the life of faith or the lame who cannot lead a full life of faith
isn't there?
harmonious in the eyes of others by harmonizing our faith and life
Do you feel like walking?
Let's take the right step by walking with Jesus Christ.
There, his muscular strength was weakened and he was not able to move properly.
There were people.
Neither did we pray, we did not serve, and we did not listen.
As a result, the spiritual strength is weakened, so when the water moves, you can enter quickly.
No, so there is no one who is getting worse and worse?
Even though we are spiritual patients, we must not get any worse.
no.
When the power of God is revealed, when Christ calls us
Let's be agile.
Dear brothers and sisters!
Jesus is the King of Shalom.
The crippled man in the text suffers from a more severe disease than the other sick people.
There was.
Because they couldn't get into the water with fast motion,
I had no choice but to expect help from others.
But they couldn't get help.
Because it was too much for everyone to move with one body.
Those who can help them must be healthy,
Because there were no such people.
The way people live is actually a kind person at a banquet.
Even if there is, there is no one in the hospital who can afford to help others.
will be
Because everyone is in a hurry to cure their illness.
But in Jesus, he is a doctor who heals, not a patient.
To be genuinely interested in all patients and to heal them
We meet with the will to do so.
So Jesus, dealing with the sick, says:
Without asking, our will
You ask.
Asking the patient's will and faith in healing, Jesus said:
you say
Jesus asks all of us will at this time.
What answer do you want to hear?
This one word is enough.
If you receive this word as Amen, you will experience shalom.
will be
Even a 38-year old disease can be cured with just one word.
Thousands of years of our original sin, the sins of our ancestors, all my past
Neither the past nor the serious illness of the soul that cannot be healed on its own
Do you believe that the words of Jesus Christ are enough?
Christ's healing is immediate.
And it's perfect.
The power of Christ who immediately raised the 38-year-old patient and made him walk
Let us now accept by faith.
And the conviction that we too can walk as whole people
Let's do it.
Dear brothers and sisters!
Do you believe in being made whole?
Then let's hear the word of the Lord again.
If we are sure of the healing of Jesus Christ, we will never sin again.
We must strive to live a holy life.
We cannot resist what God has made perfect.
In spite of all the satanic tricks that make us fall,
We believe in the power of the Lord to guide us,
Let us never again be burdened with the bondage of sin and death.
Jesus asks you again.
Jesus' healing does not take a hundred years.
Blessed are those who receive Amen.
Because that's when you get it right away.
Because it instantly becomes whole.
It is because they immediately possess the citizenship of heaven.
Praise the name of the Lord who gives shalom to all of us.
Hallelujah!
