Johannes 5:1-17 - Jesus se derde wonderteken.pptx

Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem
for a feast of the Jews. Now there is in
Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which
in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is
surrounded by five covered colonnades. Here
a great number of disabled people used to
lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. One
who was there had been an invalid for thirtyeight years. When Jesus saw him lying there
and learned that he had been in this condition
for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to
get well?”

“Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help
me into the pool when the water is stirred.
While I am trying to get in, someone else goes
down ahead of me.”
Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your
mat and walk.” At once the man was cured; he
picked up his mat and walked. The day on
which this took place was a Sabbath, and so
the Jews said to the man who had been
healed, “It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you
to carry your mat.”

But he replied, “The man who made me well
said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”
So they asked him, “Who is this fellow who
told you to pick it up and walk?”
The man who was healed had no idea who it
was, for Jesus had slipped away into the crowd
that was there.
Later Jesus found him at the temple and said
to him, “See, you are well again. Stop sinning
or something worse may happen to you.” The
man went away and told the Jews that it was
Jesus who had made him well.

So, because Jesus was doing these things on
the Sabbath, the Jews persecuted him. Jesus
said to them, “My Father is always at his work
to this very day, and I, too, am working.”

What’s your

Invalid always

years

“Do you want
to get well?”

“I have no
one to help
me”

“Get up! Pick
up your mat
and walk.”

He tells the
Jews ... (splits
on Jesus?)

Maybe the
man believed
in Asclepius,
the god of
medicine ...

Asclepius and
his staff with
the snake
wound
around it

Jesus shows
that faith in
Asclepius
doesn’t heal

Healing
doesn’t
necessary
lead to faith

God gives
faith in a
relationship
with Him

"But these
miraculous signs are
written that you may
believe that Jesus is
the Christ, the Son of
God, and that by
believing you may
have life in his
name." - John 20:30

“Some time later,
Jesus went up to
Jerusalem for a
feast of the Jews.”

“If you knew the
gift of God and
who it is that asks
you for a drink,
you would have
asked him and he
would have given
you living water.” John 4:10

“'If anyone is thirsty,
let him come to me
and drink. Whoever
believes in me, as the
Scripture has said,
streams of living water
will flow from within
him.' By this he meant
the Spirit, whom those
who believed in him
were later to receive."
John 7:37-39

“By this he
meant the
Spirit”

1. God gives
the Spirit –
the living
water

2. Ask God "If you then, though
you are evil, know
how to give good
gifts to your
children, how much
more will your
Father in heaven
give the Holy Spirit
to those who ask
him!” - Luke 11:13

3. Trust God
– in the
normal
spiritual
things of life

1. Daily examen –
look for God’s
presence in your
life

2. Lectio Divina –
read the Bible
spiritually

3. Practice the
presence of God
– do and live
for Him

“Let your living
water flow over
my soul.”
I will pray with
you – also
afterwards in the
consistory at the
back
