The So What?
Jesus wants us to see there is still a multitude of helpless, hopeless people who are waiting for a solution to their problems.
Jesus wants us to use these buildings we call churches as places of rest, refreshment, learning, prayer, and worship.
Jesus does not want us to use this building as a shield from the world.
We are not to make churches into fortresses of iron clad self-will.
Churches are not to be hiding places to cover our sins.
Jesus wants us as his followers to be channels of His mercy and grace.
Jesus desires to work his miraculous power through us, so sinners will be more than healed physically, but transformed for eternity.
Jesus desires us to help the helpless.
What happens When Jesus stirs up the swimming pool?
The Miraculous!
