In today’s world, there is a great multitude in need of the pool of the Water of Life

“After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.” John 5:1-2

The sheep market is where the Jewish people would buy sheep to make a sacrifice to God to atone for their sin. Jesus Christ was at the feast who is the Lamb of God who atones for sin on the Cross for whoever believes in Him. As our Lord Jesus was walking through the sheep market, He was well aware that He would be the final sacrifice to put an end to the sheep market and all such sacrifices. The crowd in the sheep market was oblivious to the fact that the Lamb of God was walking among them and His gift of the atonement for sin was free, and He was not for sale. By the sheep market was a pool where those with physical handicaps were hoping to be healed. Today, Jesus Christ is the hope of everyone in this world, and He is the Water of Life who forms a pool of spiritual and eternal healing for all who receive Him.

“In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.” John 5:3

On the five porches of the pool were many needy people. While people were buying and sacrificing sheep to atone for sin, their sacrifices did nothing to heal the needs of the human spirit and soul. Jesus Christ came to show us that there is nothing in this world capable of healing our spirit and soul except the remission of sin which He made possible as the sacrificial Lamb of God. Jesus brought the remission of animal sacrifices by putting sin into remission by the blood He shed on the Cross, as quoted below,

Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.

Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

Hebrews 10:18-22

In the days of Jesus, great multitudes were impotent to the Spirit of God, blind to the life God wanted them to live, withered in their spirit, and waiting for any morsel of hope for improvement in their afflicted life. The sacrifice Jesus made as the Lamb of God brought reconciliation to God to bring the human spirit into fellowship with the Holy Spirit. By the remission of sin, the Holy Spirit lives within us and healing comes to the human spirit. As Jesus Christ said,

The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.

Luke 4:18

We live in times when those who govern this world want people to be spiritually afflicted to give life to the thing which gives people what to think and feel to form what they say and do. People allow the image of the beast to live and speak through them by the thing forming what they say and do. They detest spiritual healing, deny the existence of God, ridicule the life of Holiness in Jesus Christ, and oppose the presence of the Holy Spirit. In their spiritual blindness and spiritual infirmities of all types, they are conformed to the anti-Christian global culture. They are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

We can assess that there are many people in this world who need the healing pool of the Water of Life to immerse themselves into. The diagnosis is that the global culture has closed down the pool of spiritual healing by making a dry desert of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We plan to immerse ourselves into the healing waters to open our eyes spiritually, to become potent through Jesus Christ, and to walk in the Holy Spirit. We implement that plan by receiving Jesus Christ who enables the Holy Spirit to live in us like a fountain of living water. We know the plan is successful when the desire of our heart and soul is to walk in Holiness as the Water of Life moves within us.
