The Deepest Healing

We look at John 5, Jesus first “in person” healing in Jerusalem, at the pool of Bethesda. We ponder Jesus decision to single out just one of the “multitude”, his comment to the man to sin no more “in order that nothing worse may happen” and the importance for telling him to “take up his mat”.
We wonder if there is something deeper, and far more significant being revealed in this interaction, and think about the even more significant healing Jesus points us to here — our healing from the stain of sin.
