Theme: Jesus, the inexhaustible pool of Bethesda
Texts: John 5:1-17, Ephesians 2:4-6
Introduction:
Jesus, the way, the truth and the life has graciously ushered us into 2024, John 14:6.
Jesus is the breaker that has broken us into 2024, Micah 2:13
The mighty hand of god has broken us into 2024; Deuteronomy 26:8, Jeremiah 32: 21
>> Jesus has broken us into 2024 to show us mercy as he did to the man at the pool of Bethesda.
Scriptural background:
The pool of Bethesda represents Jesus Christ.
Bethesda means
- house of mercy
-house of kindness.
>> Jesus Christ is the inexhaustible pool of mercy.
> anyone who genuinely enters it finds mercy to live a blessed, meaningful, fruitful, productive, prosperous and progressive live.
= the man at the pool of Bethesda:
= has been in this condition for 38 years.
= this man has suffered two major " curses. "
1. Near - success > always success in sight but never materializes > 7.
=the man was near the pool but couldn't enter.
= why? Can it be that many are in Christ but cannot access the inexhaustible blessings in Christ, many are near the pool yet?
>> your focus
>> what you are conscious of
= things you give your attention to things that take your mind, heart, ears, mouth.
2. Close but far
= note that Jesus got to know that he has been in this condition for 38 years v 6.
= this year Jesus is giving close attention to those who have sincerely, genuinely and honestly served him, sacrifice etc. but have not seen any significant change in their lives > both pastor's and members.
= To such Jesus is applying protocol non - compliance anointing.
3. But Jesus asked the man " do you want to get well " v 6 refer v 14 i.e., that was not the first time this man enjoyed the mercies of god > this man was a god user > seek god when he is needed > be faithful only when you need something
= Among Christians are god users and god followers/ servers.
4. The man was referring to his past experiences when Jesus was asking whether he wants to get well v 7
5. Jesus applied protocol noncompliance to break this man into his new phase of healthy life> v 8
A. Prophetic impartation > speak for god to act > act for god to confirm.
