John 5:8-9 “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.”

Without the need for the pool’s waters or the help of others, Jesus miraculously healed the man with just His word. The man’s healing was immediate and complete, demonstrating the power of Jesus to heal instantly and fully.

Reflection Questions:

  • How does Jesus’ authority to heal encourage you in your own need for healing?
  • What steps of faith can you take today, trusting in Jesus’ power to heal you emotionally, physically, or spiritually?
