The Bible for the Ordinary Life

John 5 Part 1: Jesus heals a paralyzed man and infuriates the religious leaders


Listen Later

In this episode Jesus meets a man who has been paralyzed for 38 years. Out of sheer mercy, He heals him, and tells him to pick up his mat and walk. This sets off a chain reaction with the religious leaders of the day. You'll learn why Jesus disrupted their status quo when He told the man to carry his mat and why it was so shocking when Jesus talked about the relationship between God the Father and God the Son. Be ready to "think like a 1st century Jew" and dig in to a story where Jesus carries out His mission, but loses popularity with the "in" crowd.

The Bible is for everyone.
