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, in Aramaic called Bethesda, which has five roofed colonnades. ³ In these lay a multitude of invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed.⁵ One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. ⁶ When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” ⁷ The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me.” ⁸ Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” ⁹ And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked.

Sermon from April 6, 2025 by Pastor Bill Walker of Unity Bible Church, Lewiston, ME. This is the 22nd message from our series on The Gospel of John. This message from John 5:1-9 and was entitled “Jesus Eternal Abundant Life.”
In this message we will consider the third of the seven miracles that the Apostle John used in his witness to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is the healing of the paralytic… a powerful story of a changed life.
At Unity Bible Church, our vision is to see God glorified through our worship of Him, building up believers, and sharing the Good News of Christ.
