If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath? John 7:23

The Lord’s work in man´s favor is complete; because it was fulfilled by Him Who is full. Originally, the human being had no problem or flaw, but with the fall of Adam, the devil entered the world, and everything was defiled. Salvation at Calvary was perfect, but we have to make the necessary repairs, using our authority and faith.

When he came to the pool of Bethesda, where there were five pavilions occupied by people with all kinds of diseases, Jesus saw a man who had been there for 38 years. This man believed that when the waters were stirred by an angel, the first to come down to them would receive healing. The Master asked him if he wanted to be healed and the man began to blame the others. However, the Lord commanded: Arise, take up your bed and walk (John 5: 8).

Immediately, that man obeyed and returned to his home. Since it was a Sabbath, the Jews saw him carrying the bed and told him that such an action was unlawful. The man explained: He that healed me, he himself said, Take up thy bed and walk (John 5:11). Later, the Jews went to Jesus and accused Him of not being of God, because He transgressed the Sabbath keeping. The Master’s response displeased them.

They transgressed the law of the Sabbath so that the command of Moses concerning the circumcision be respected. Then Christ healed a man, but they did not understand the greatness of such a work. When people have a mental faith, they become fanatics and do not understand the beauty of God’s deeds. It takes a lot of patience with those who do not serve the Lord with genuine faith.

Those religious did not realize that the Lord’s healing is complete. For them, keeping the Sabbath was better than restoring someone. Of course, many of them, or some of their family and friends, had health issues, but because Jesus did not act as they understood, they despised the Master. Now, He could heal them, but lack of understanding kept them in suffering.

The tragedy today is big in all religious circles. Even if their faith does not produce change in their favor, practitioners of some religions cannot understand that their doctrines and dogmas will keep them under the subjection of the wicked forces. Only those enlightened by the Word will not be led astray or oppressed by evil works.

Never be fooled by human teachings, because they have no power to put an end to their evil or take them to Heaven. The faith that will one day take you to the Kingdom of God can free you from any affliction now. Therefore, believe and be blessed!

In Christ, with love,
