While the Jews were bickering about the healed man carrying his bed and walking, they failed to see and to understand that before their very eyes was the fulfillment of the Sabbath rest when the Lord Jesus removed the heavy load of sin and infirmity from the man. At Bethesda, in the House of Mercy, the Lord has shown His lovingkindness and tender mercies in saying “Take up your bed and walk” and with this comes the power to become Sons - the power to “Sin no more” In the House of Mercy we receive Strength to actively and rigorously vanquish sin in our lives.
