Afterward Jesus returned to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish holy days. 2 <\/strong>Inside the city, near the Sheep Gate, was the pool of Bethesda, with five covered porches. 3 <\/strong>Crowds of sick people\u2014blind, lame, or paralyzed\u2014lay on the porches. 5 <\/strong>One of the men lying there had been sick for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him and knew he had been ill for a long time, he asked him, \u201cWould you like to get well?\u201d \u201cI can\u2019t, sir,\u201d the sick man said, \u201cfor I have no one to put me into the pool when the water bubbles up. Someone else always gets there ahead of me.\u201d Jesus told him, \u201cStand up, pick up your mat, and walk!\u201d Instantly, the man was healed! He rolled up his sleeping mat and began walking! But this miracle happened on the Sabbath,  John 5:1-9 NLT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Do You Want To Get Well<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When Jesus heard this, he told them, \u201cHealthy people don\u2019t need a doctor\u2014sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.\u201d  Mark 2:17 NLT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most People Don\u2019t Realize\/Want To Admit That They\u2019re Un-well<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jesus said, \u201cIf you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.  John 9:41 NIV<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you want to conform to the pattern of this world, or do you want to be well?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Who Touched My Robe<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jesus went with him, and all the people followed, crowding around him. A woman in the crowd had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding. She had suffered a great deal from many doctors, and over the years she had spent everything she had to pay them, but she had gotten no better. In fact, she had gotten worse. She had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him through the crowd and touched his robe. For she thought to herself, \u201cIf I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.\u201d Immediately the bleeding stopped, and she could feel in her body that she had been healed of her terrible condition. Jesus realized at once that healing power had gone out from him, so he turned around in the crowd and asked, \u201cWho touched my robe?\u201d His disciples said to him, \u201cLook at this crowd pressing around you. How can you ask, \u2018Who touched me?\u2019\u201d But he kept on looking around to see who had done it. Then the frightened woman, trembling at the realization of what had happened to her, came and fell to her knees in front of him and told him what she had done. And he said to her, \u201cDaughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over.\u201d   Mark 5:24-34 NLT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Times We all need healing that is not just physical, but relational<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

And he said to her, \u201cDaughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over.   Mark 5:34<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
