Bible Note: Cyclist, Thanks for your well-wishing. I pray that the Lord blesses you with whatever you put you hand and that you seek him earnestly and whole-heartedly. I've seen and read about many healing lines where the people were given a similar command. One in particular where there were four individuals in wheelchairs. The preacher said something to the effect of "Get up!" or "Rise up and walk!" Three walked, the other said, "But I can't walk." The difference in these two types of people is that when given the command those who walked were both obedient and believed that they would be able to walk when they got to their feet. However, the individuals who are not healed looked at their symptoms and didn't act. The man at Bethesda got up and walked. He was obedient and must have believed that his legs would support him. If you don't believe that a bridge can hold you, do you walk out on the bridge? Of course not, so this man had to have believed that his legs would hold him before he got up. Jesified |
