Sometimes our pain leads us to distraction and loss of concentration as the focus ends up being our misery. No matter where you find yourself or how long you have been in that unpleasant situation, Jesus knows, and He is able to deliver you. I pray that you will not miss your Bethesda moment, and when the destiny helpers come, please listen carefully and respond correctly, not with murmuring.
Imagine being in pain for thirty-eight years (38), and you witness people being blessed in front of you but nothing happening in your situation. Perhaps you even wonder if there’s anyone who cares. No wonder he never even realised that the Saviour had arrived to rescue him. Jesus knew his condition, and when He started a conversation, “Do you want to be made well?” The sick man responded with murmuring, and it is understandable, as he had suffered for 38 years. Oh Lord Jesus, do not pass me by when You bless others; please bless me too, Lord, and may I not look at the pain I have endured, but may I trust in Your unfailing love!
“A Man Healed at the Pool of Bethesda
5 After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. 3 In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water. 4 For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had. 5 Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years. 6 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?”
7 The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.” 8 Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” 9 And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the Sabbath. 10 The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.”
11 He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your bed and walk.’ ”
12 Then they asked him, “Who is the Man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?” 13 But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place. 14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.” 15 The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.” John 5:1-15 NKJV
