The Real Reason
•
Prairie Bible Church
When God chooses to anything, it’s always for a reason.
- And often it’s a reason that you’d never expect…
Character traits of the man who was healed:
- Blame-shifter
- Ingrate
- Tattle-tail
- Out of the multitude that were there that day to be healed WHY would Jesus heal this guy?!
- John 5:18- This was WHY the Jews were seeking to kill Him, because not only was He healing on the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal to God.
- In other words, the healing wasn’t about the guy at all! Jesus had His own reasons that none of them understood at the time.
- John 5:18- This was WHY the Jews were seeking to kill Him, because not only was He healing on the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal to God.
- Out of the multitude that were there that day to be healed WHY would Jesus heal this guy?!
God knows what He’s doing when we don’t!
- So, we need to trust Him!
- Know that He loves us…
- And believe that He wants a relationship with us.
- And the best way to build relationship with Him is through prayer
