"A Place Called Bethesda"

Afterward Jesus returned to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish holy days. Inside the city, near the Sheep Gate, was the pool of Bethesda, with five covered porches.

Crowds of sick people—blind, lame, or paralyzed—lay on the porches.

John 5:1‭-‬3 NLT

What I love about the text is the people...All the different people represented; people with all kinds of physical conditions, but yet they were all together in ONE PLACE, a place called Bethesda (at the pool) with ONE AGENDA. They were all trying to get healed.

How I wish, we here in America would realize the need for us all to be together, that we can all be together whatever the color of our skin, whatever our political views are, whatever condition we're currently in without fighting, without bickering...

Because at the end of the day, we're all just here on earth, trying to heal from some type of condition, some type of circumstance or situation...We're all just trying to heal from something.

Mentally, we're all at a place, at a pool called Bethesda trying to heal, trying to get some things right.

So, really we don't have room to talk about each other, to make fun of each other...When we all are imperfect and flawed in some way. Like the people that qualified to be at Bethseda, there is blindness in the land, lameness in the land, we have been a paralyzed people for too long.

The bible says: Do not give the devil an opportunity.

Ephesians 4:27 NET

Therefore, It's time to stop making room for the devil with all the fighting and bickering and realize we are one and the same in so many ways.

This a clarion call for peace, for healing....

Stop being bitter and angry and mad at others. Don't yell at one another or curse each other or ever be rude.

Ephesians 4:31 CEV

Beloved, Simply put: Behave better than that, especially if you're a Christian and allow the real healing to begin.

Selah (Pause & Think about that!)

Until Next Sunday.
