God Still Speaks

Jesus heals again! In chapter 4, He healed the officials son and now he heals a lame man that had been sick for 38 years. It says that Jesus saw him and that he knew that he had been there for a long time. Jesus see's and knows what we are going through, his eyes are open to our situation and He knows and feels our hurt and pain. What a question he asks, "Would you like to get well?" We too find excuses not to be healed but the man obeyed Jesus and stood up and began to walk. And for being obeient he immediately got rebuked by the religous leaders. Religion will not rejoice when a miracle happens, it makes sure that every rule is not broken. We cannot keep God in a religous box, He will do things contrary to our rules and tradition. There is a good word here, Jesus told the man to stop sinning so that a worse thing will not come upon him. Something for everyone to think about.
